Renewable hydrogen
Renewable hydrogen can enable the deep decarbonisation of difficult to abate sectors of our economy, particularly in transport and industry, while accelerating the contribution of renewable energy and contributing to energy efficiency. United Kingdom has the potential to be a global hydrogen leader, potentially exporting hydrogen as well as using it to decarbonise industry. Concessional financing through the Advancing Hydrogen Fund is an important policy initiative to catalyse investment in large-scale hydrogen projects, which may include technology, construction, operating and revenue risks.
