Hydrogen UK has launched a manifesto outlining policy recommendations aimed at positioning hydrogen as a central element in achieving net zero emissions, enhancing energy security, and stimulating economic growth in the UK. The manifesto calls for actions within the government's first 100 days and beyond, including the appointment of a ministerial role dedicated to hydrogen to ensure coordinated policy efforts. Accelerating investment decisions for pioneering hydrogen projects is highlighted as essential for maintaining industry momentum. The manifesto advocates for expediting the initial Hydrogen Allocation Rounds and releasing the hydrogen funding mechanism design consultation to provide funding certainty and boost investor confidence. It also stresses the importance of adopting a single standard for low carbon hydrogen across government departments to ensure consistency in supporting mechanisms. Furthermore, immediate funding for projects within Track-1 of the Cluster Sequencing Process is urged, along with setting clear timelines and funding details for Track-2 projects. Hydrogen UK estimates that the hydrogen industry could significantly contribute to the UK economy by creating jobs and generating added value. Clare Jackson of Hydrogen UK emphasizes the need for policymakers to act promptly to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen technology and secure the UK's competitiveness globally. The manifesto underlines the risks of delays in achieving net zero goals, ensuring energy security, and capitalizing on the economic growth potential offered by the hydrogen industry.
