Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what proportion of hydrogen in the UK is generated by electrolysis.

The low carbon hydrogen economy in the UK is nascent, with electrolysis making up a very small share of current hydrogen production. The Government has set an ambition for there to be up to 10 GW of hydrogen production capacity in the UK by 2030, with at least half this being electrolytic hydrogen. The Government aims to run annual joint allocation rounds of the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund and Hydrogen Business Model to support its aim of having up to 1 GW of electrolytic hydrogen production operational or in construction by 2025.
