Hydrogen is a chemical energy carrier that will play a key role in the energy transition
It has characteristics that are beneficial as we look to build a clean, cost effective resilient, safe energy system
Abundant
Hydrogen is the most abundant element on the planet and can be produced from any primary energy source including hydrocarbons and renewables
Low Carbon
Hydrogen can be produced and used with low to zero carbon emissions
Flexible
Hydrogen can be utilised across the energy system in power, heat, industry and transport applications
Storable
Hydrogen can be stored in large quantities over long periods of time. Energy storage is essential for a resilient energy system
Safe
As with any chemical carrier, hydrogen is low risk under the right safety management regulations and protocols. Hydrogen has been safely used for industrial applications over many decades
The UK is well placed to take a leadership position in hydrogen.
We are home to some of the most ambitious and exciting projects and companies in the world. Investment in hydrogen could unlock significant benefit for the UK
