Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make it his policy to increase the number of hydrogen power stations.

The Government views hydrogen as an important component of the UK's future power system to provide flexible low carbon generation capacity as the UK integrates more renewables.

Government analysis shows that having hydrogen available in the power sector could achieve emission reductions at a lower cost than scenarios without hydrogen.
