Net Zero Hydrogen
Accelerating the transition to net zero by supporting private investment across the low carbon hydrogen value chain
Globally the low carbon hydrogen sector is still in its infancy, so the role of government is substantial in establishing the market conditions for private investment.
Our newly established Net Zero Hydrogen team is supporting Scottish Government’s Hydrogen Programme by deepening market insight and enabling public sector action to stimulate private investment across hydrogen production, transport and storage, domestic offtake and export.
This work aligns closely with our corporate priority of accelerating the transition to a net zero carbon economy.
