Extract from Lords
motion to consider the Green Gas Support Scheme Regulations
2021
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy () (Con):...Moving on to the
noble Lord’s question about the definition of food waste, my

green hydrogen by 2030, achieved by producing green hydrogen at
scale from nuclear energy. We can outmanoeuvre France and other
nations by taking steps such as expanding the Renewable Transport
Fuel Obligation to cover nuclear, even if just for
a time-limited period, to stimulate investment in hydrogen
production and support a quicker roll-out of hydrogen, with
buses, trains, lorries, ships and planes, all of which can be
made in the UK...
