Chris Grayling (Epsom and Ewell) (Con): What assessment he has made
of the capacity of the UK to produce green hydrogen. The Minister
for Business, Energy and Clean Growth (Anne-Marie Trevelyan): The
UK has expertise and assets to support both green and blue
hydrogen. Our twin-track approach to enable both routes, in line
with our 2030 5 GW ambition, will drive cost-effective supply

The Minister for Business, Energy and Clean Growth ():
The UK has expertise and assets to support both green and blue
hydrogen. Our twin-track approach to enable both routes, in line
with our 2030 5 GW ambition, will drive cost-effective supply
volumes in the 2020s, while scaling up green hydrogen.
[V]: My right hon. Friend is right to talk about both
forms of hydrogen. Ideally, of course, we would all be using
entirely green hydrogen—as she knows, there are problems with the
Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation
which I hope she will be able to sort out—but blue hydrogen is
going to be part of what we need in the coming decades. What steps
is she taking to ensure that we provide the right support for the
carbon capture that must, by definition, go alongside the
production of blue hydrogen so that it is genuinely a net zero
fuel?
: We
are committed to making the UK a global leader in developing carbon
capture and hydrogen production, so we are supporting both through
new commercial frameworks and financial support, via our £1 billion
for a carbon capture and storage infrastructure fund and £240
million for our net zero hydrogen fund.
