UK falls from leading position on hydrogen policy, says new report

The UK is falling behind in the global race for hydrogen investments, a report by the Energy Networks Association (ENA) and Hydrogen UK has said.

The International Hydrogen Progress Index report showed the UK, ranked 2^nd in the world for hydrogen policy progress in 2021, had fallen behind to 8^th in 2023.

According to the report, despite the doubling of its low-carbon hydrogen production targets to 10GW, the UK has been slow to finalise policies and supporting mechanisms, with timelines slipping and “no major projects progressing to final investment decision (FID).”
