Policy and certification Successful integration and scaling of hydrogen in the energy system will be vital to the UK unlocking low-carbon energy sources. As policy is developed to support the supply and demand of hydrogen, we must also ensure the integration of appropriate standards and investable parameters. This includes the recently published consultation on low carbon hydrogen standard and its integration with the impending UK Green Taxonomy. Ensuring a progressive yet appropriate GHG emission threshold for low carbon hydrogen standard will allow early and critical investment into the UK’s hydrogen market To develop hydrogen demand, enabling the blending of limited amounts of hydrogen into existing gas networks and safety standards around the handling of hydrogen and development of appliances. Further work is needed on the route to expanding these industriesbeyondtheinitialprojectsaswellasthedevelopment of national and/or international traded hydrogen markets on the same basis as the gas market including certification of carbon content are also crucial.
