A major utilities boss warns businesses could seek hydrogen from overseas due to delays in the UK.
The slow adoption of hydrogen fuel in the UK risks businesses moving overseas, a utilities boss has warned.Director of regulation, Sarah Williams, said firms could be forced to look abroad for cleaner fuel sources "if we, as a country, don't make some decisions around hydrogen soon".Hydrogen is considered to be a clean fuel because it does not release harmful gases when burnt, with hydrogen vehicles emitting only water.
The advent of widescale hydrogen fuel was "the most exciting time ever" for the energy market, said Ms Williams. "If we can get up to 20% hydrogen into our existing pipes, we could save six million tonnes of carbon, which is equivalent to taking two-and-a-half million cars off the road."The Prince Madog, a research vessel co-owned by Bangor University is expected to reduce its carbon emissions by 60% with a £5.5m hydrogen power retrofit
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said it was "building the necessary evidence base to determine whether hydrogen blending offers strategic and economic value and meets the required safety standards.
