Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of potential future trends in the levels of demand for hydrogen in net zero sectors until (a) 2035 and (b) 2050.
This question was answered on 12th June 2023
Low carbon hydrogen has an important role to play in decarbonising UK industrial sectors and providing flexible deployment across power, transport, and potentially heat.
The Net Zero Strategy suggests the UK could need 80-140 TWh of hydrogen by 2035 and 240-500 TWh by 2050.
