Written Question
Hydrogen
Tuesday 13th February 2024

Asked by: Alexander Stafford (Conservative - Rother Valley)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how much green hydrogen the UK will produce in (a) 2024, (b) 2028, (c) 2030 and (d) 2050.

Answered by Andrew Bowie - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

Electrolytic ‘green’ hydrogen projects are delivered through our annual Hydrogen Allocation Rounds (HARs). In December we announced HAR1 would support 125MW of production capacity across 11 projects. We aim to support up to 875MW through HAR2, giving up to 1GW green hydrogen production capacity in operation or construction by 2025. The level of production in each year will depend on the outcome of HARs, operational dates for projects and their individual operating patterns. We aim to have up to 6GW of green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, while by 2050 hydrogen could supply up to 35% of UK energy consumption.

Written Question
Hydrogen: Production
Tuesday 26th March 2024

Asked by: Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what funding assistance they are providing for market structures and mechanisms for supporting increased hydrogen production.

Answered by Lord Callanan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The UK’s strong policy framework – including the Hydrogen Production Business Model, Net Zero Hydrogen Fund and Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard – has created an investable model which has leveraged private investment to kick start the UK’s hydrogen economy.

Government is supporting projects to move the UK closer to our hydrogen ambitions.

In December 2023 we announced 125MW of successful projects from Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR) 1, and have since launched HAR2, aiming to allocate up to a further 875MW in 2025, subject to affordability and value for money.

Written Question
Hydrogen: Scotland
Friday 15th March 2024

Asked by: Kenny MacAskill (Alba Party - East Lothian)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what revenue will be available to (a) the Scottish Government and (b) Scottish local authorities from the production of green hydrogen.

Answered by Andrew Bowie - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The Government has a UK-wide mechanism for allocating revenue support to new low carbon hydrogen projects, including for electrolytic ‘green’ hydrogen projects. The first Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR) for the Hydrogen Production Business Model resulted in 125MW of production capacity across 11 projects in England, Scotland and Wales, including two in Scotland.

HAR 2 is now open to applications, through which Government hopes to provide support for up to 875MW of low carbon hydrogen production. This round closes on 19 April 2024. Government has set out the process for future allocation rounds through its Hydrogen Production Delivery Roadmap.
