The UK’s recent increase in hydrogen production ambition, to 10GW by 2030 as stated in the Energy Security Strategy, demonstrates the significant role hydrogen is expected to play in the future energy mix. Developing 100% hydrogen networks is crucial to not only meeting this aim, but also ensuring the decarbonisation benefit is felt in end use sectors across the country.
To ensure this opportunity is met, Hydrogen UK recommends:
1. Take interim measures to facilitate design and planning before the design of Transport Business Models
2. Design Regulated Asset Base models in both growth and steady state phases
3. Create a strategic planning body which facilitates the coordination between networks and storage infrastructure projects
4. Political commitment to the development of a national network of 100% hydrogen pipelines
5. Determine a national strategy to decarbonise industry
