“Today’s plan establishes a decisive and permanent shift away from our dependence on fossil fuels,” business and energy secretary Alok Sharma said in a statement. “Through a major programme of investment and reform, we are determined to both decarbonise our economy in the most cost-effective way, while creating new sunrise industries and revitalising our industrial heartlands that will support new green jobs for generations to come.”
Key tenets in the white paper include £1bn invested into CCS (carbon capture and storage) in four industrial clusters by 2030, and setting a 5GW target for hydrogen production, including a new £240m net zero Hydrogen Fund for low carbon hydrogen production.
