The MP is concerned about job opportunities in Peterborough, a city with potential for clean energy development.
What steps she is taking to support job creation in the renewable energy sector. I am delighted with my hon. Friend's commitment to delivering clean energy jobs. It is important to constituencies such as mine in Peterborough, which could be the King's Cross for a new core hydrogen network—as recommended by the National Infrastructure Commission—thanks to National Gas's Project Union. We are about to open a new green technology centre.
I completely agree with my hon. Friend's sentiment and commend the work that he is doing in his constituency. Low carbon technology will play a critical role in our future, from hydrogen to renewable energy. I am pleased that we funded 11 hydrogen projects which will drive jobs and growth.

The MP is concerned about safeguarding and creating new jobs in the renewable energy sector, specifically mentioning a project involving Gilkes and farmers.
In order to safeguard renewable jobs and to create new ones, will the Minister consider a specific project that has hydro-turbine manufacturers such as Gilkes in Kendal, and many others around the country, working alongside our farmers to make use of streams, becks and rivers that go through farmland to create renewable industry and, indeed, new jobs?
We are ambitious to create all the jobs that we want to see in the green technologies of the future. I would be very interested to hear more about what the hon. Gentleman has to say. The Climate Change Committee estimates that up to 750,000 net jobs could be created by 2030.
