Revitalising UK's Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure: A Call for Collaboration
Key Ideas
  • The UK's hydrogen refuelling stations have decreased to six from 10 in just two years, indicating a concerning trend in the industry's growth.
  • Hydrogen UK advocates for a collaborative approach between electrification and hydrogen to achieve a low-carbon transport future.
  • Greater government and industry collaboration is essential to support the success of the hydrogen industry and reduce emissions in the UK.
  • Taking tangible steps to strengthen the hydrogen sector will lead to associated benefits for both the industry and the country.
The United Kingdom is facing challenges in its transportation infrastructure, particularly concerning the decline in hydrogen refuelling stations from 10 to six in just two years. This trend raises concerns about the industry's ability to support the country's emissions reduction goals, especially in the transport sector, which has been a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions since 2016. To address these challenges, stakeholders are calling for a shift in the debate from hydrogen vs electrification to a more collaborative approach that leverages the strengths of both technologies. Hydrogen UK emphasizes the need for cooperation between electrification and hydrogen to achieve a low-carbon transport future effectively. By supporting the hydrogen sector and encouraging government and industry collaboration, the UK can not only reduce emissions but also foster innovation and economic growth in the energy transition towards a sustainable future.
