How is the Welsh Government supporting the production and distribution of hydrogen in Wales?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning | Answered on 08/10/2024

The Welsh Government continues to support low-carbon hydrogen within a necessary future energy mix to decarbonise our energy sector, industry, and the wider Welsh economy.

In north Wales the Welsh Government has provided £1m to the Holyhead hydrogen hub.  We continue to work with regional partners, such as Ambition North Wales and local authorities, on how we can support the acceleration and deployment of hydrogen infrastructure across north Wales - which includes Hydrogen Transport and Industrial Decarbonisation projects.  Our HYBRID SBRI decarbonisation innovation programme is also supporting hydrogen deployment feasibility and demonstrator projects in all Welsh regions, including southwest Wales.
