Hydrogen: Carbon Emissions

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they are making in establishing a hydrogen certification scheme for imported and exported hydrogen.

Answer

In the British Energy Security Strategy, the Government committed to setting up a low carbon hydrogen certification scheme from 2025 and is now working at pace to put it in place.

While the scheme will initially be domestically focused, the Government is taking steps to ensure that it can facilitate international trade in future. This includes participating in international fora on certification and signing a Declaration of Intent at COP28 on cross-border recognition of hydrogen certification.

The Government will set out a pathway to international alignment ahead of launch of the scheme.
