The
REA ' s Nina Skorupska on the net-zero transition
delivery targets for 2030 in its forthcoming Hydrogen Strategy .
The Strategy was due to be published in March , but delays have meant that the industry has faced months of uncertainty . In contrast , Germany published its Hydrogen Strategy in June 2020 , providing a clear signal to developers and funders about their long-term commitment to renewable forms of hydrogen .
Dr Nina Skorupska CBE , Chief Executive of the Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology ( REA ), said the Government had previously set a target of 5GW production capacity from hydrogen by 2030 in its Energy White Paper , but this must be much more ambitious to drive growth in the sector .
“ There is an opportunity with the upcoming Hydrogen Strategy for the UK to position itself as a leading producer and exporter of low-carbon hydrogen . However , this can only be realised if the Government is bold in its targets and will set out the clear policy framework that is required ,” she said .
