RenewableUK calls for green-specific hydrogen policies
Government must develop detailed roadmap to achieve 5GW green hydrogen targets, renewable energy industry association says
The UK’s leading renewable energy trade association, RenewableUK, has urged the government to put in place policies and regulations aimed specifically at supporting the country’s green hydrogen sector or risk losing out to other countries with more robust “electrolyser-specific strategies”. The UK’s national hydrogen strategy takes a twin-track approach to technology, supporting the expansion of both renewables-based green and gas-based blue hydrogen. “If ever there was a time to step up our efforts to replace expensive gas with a clean, flexible fuel which fulfils the same role but uses cheap renewables instead, it is right now,” says Laurie Heyworth, emerging technologies policy analyst at
