Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on a hydrogen levy.

My Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State has regular discussions with Cabinet colleagues on a range of subjects.

Low carbon hydrogen will be a source of clean energy which the Government can produce domestically using British skills, experience and natural resources. The British Energy Security Strategy sets out the Government's ambition for 10GW of hydrogen by 2030, which could support over 12,000 jobs, and unlock up to £11 billion in private investment.
