In addition to an emergency package to offer immediate support to consumers, the best way to do this is to rapidly lower the UK's dependence on volatile fossil fuels. The Energy Security Strategy sets a target of 10GW of hydrogen capacity by 2030 - at least half of which will be green hydrogen.

The overall message is clear: the government needs to get a move on, or risk missing out on much needed global green investment, as well as a more energy secure grid system. "The We need to see rapid progress across both renewables and hydrogen deployment to make the 2035 target achievable."

A gas company has been accused of “greenwashing” in a North Yorkshire community ahead of a crunch decision on the UK’s first ‘hydrogen village’. Northern Gas Networks (NGN) is bidding to host a two-year government-funded trial in Redcar, Teesside, to replace gas with ‘green’ hydrogen in around 2,000 homes.

Out in Utah, a coal-fired power plant supplying electricity to Los Angeles is being outfitted with natural-gas-fired turbines that will eventually be able to run on hydrogen, created via electrolysis with wind and solar power and stored in massive underground caverns for use when that clean energy isn’t available for the grid.
