Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what measures they have put in place to promote hydrogen energy in Wales.

In the Autumn Budget, the Government confirmed £2.3 billion in revenue support for 11 green hydrogen projects from the first Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR1), including the HyBont project in Bridgend, and the West Wales Hydrogen Project in Milford Haven.

On 7 April 2025, the Government announced a shortlist of 27 projects, including three located in Wales, that have been invited to the next stage of the Second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2) process.

Projects offered support under previous programmes such as the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund include the Holyhead Hydrogen Hub, where we are working closely with the Wales Office, Welsh Government and Ambition North Wales as the project develops.
