Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 November 2025

Debate

Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Industry

Contribution

My Lords, the 2021 Science and Technology Committee report made recommendations on hydrogen and fuel cells. One of the hydrogen recommendations was a strategy for the Government to produce hydrogen. I commend the Government on their commitment to produce 10 gigawatts of power through hydrogen, 50% through electrolytic hydrogen. Alongside that, the other recommendation was to develop combined heat and power fuel cells, both small-scale ones of several kilowatts and bigger cells of several megawatts, to go with electrolysed hydrogen. I wonder whether the Government have any strategy related to that.
