The UK aims to support multiple production routes to meet its ambition to have up to 10GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030. The Government is not aware of evidence to suggest natural – ‘white’ – hydrogen will make a significant contribution to the UK’s hydrogen production ambitions. However, it welcomes efforts from other countries that support the production and use of low carbon hydrogen. The Government is working with international partners on issues including natural hydrogen.
