The UK is currently seeking to position itself as a technology leader in the global hydrogen economy by building demand for low-carbon hydrogen and products at home. The Hydrogen Strategy published in 2021 and updated in 2023 sets an ambitious target of 10 GW of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030, including both green and blue hydrogen.
So far, hydrogen has been largely missing from UK-EU cooperation on energy transition, despite progress in other important areas, such as offshore wind power development. While the UK participates in high-level fora on hydrogen and international standard-setting initiatives, the government is not actively coordinating or investing in hydrogen infrastructure that could connect it to Europe. At the regional level, however, Scotland is developing its own plans for exporting hydrogen and derivatives to the EU.
After the presentation of an analysis of the UK hydrogen strategy and comments by experts and government representatives from the EU and the UK, the roundtable will explore the following questions:
What are the key priorities and drivers of the UK hydrogen policy?
How does the UK hydrogen policy compare internationally?
Is there potential for enhancing UK-EU cooperation on hydrogen and what are the challenges that need to be overcome?
You are warmly invited to join us online on 13 October 2023 to debate these issues with British and EU stakeholders.

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
