The Member highlighted the importance of hydrogen in achieving net zero emissions, particularly given that transport is responsible for 34% of UK carbon emissions. He welcomed the Government's plans to produce an economy-wide hydrogen strategy and encouraged them to prioritise hydrogen use in buses, HGVs, shipping, rail, aviation, and home heating. The Member called for ambitious targets for mass commercialisation of hydrogen technology by other countries as benchmarks. He also urged the Government to create a hydrogen political working group consisting of UK Government representatives, devolved Administration Ministers, Mayors, and council leaders to coordinate hydrogen policy implementation at pace. Additionally, he emphasised the need for collaboration among relevant Government Departments and local leadership from metro Mayors, council leaders, and local enterprise partnerships.
