18 Aug 2021
By investing in low carbon hydrogen fuel to heat homes and power vehicles, thousands of jobs could be created says government.
Business and Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng
has unveiled government plans to create a thriving low carbon hydrogen sector
in the UK over the next decade and beyond.
Kwasi said “Today marks the start of the
UK’s hydrogen revolution. This home-grown clean energy source has the potential
to transform the way we power our lives and will be essential to tackling
climate change and reaching Net Zero.”
Hydrogen fuel is a uniquely abundant source
of energy and is great for delivering our future zero carbon needs. It is a
clean source of energy, with no adverse environmental impact as the by-products
are simply heat and water.
As a result this low-carbon, versatile fuel can
be used by cars, trucks and trains, heat our homes and generate the power
needed for industrial processes such as steel production.
