The potential role of hydrogen in the UK’s energy system is key to these ambitions and the White Paper illustrates the UK government’s support for the sector, including plans to develop 5 gigawatt (GW) per annum of low-carbon hydrogen production by 2030 and to invest £1 billion in innovation programs to assist with the development of new technologies such as clean hydrogen.

Attenborough recorded one of his trademark voiceovers warm, calm and full of contagious fascination for the natural world for the new BBC and Discovery series A Perfect Planet, which arrives in early January.
