The U.K. government is starting to draw up a plan to create a “world-leading” hydrogen market that can help meet its goal to zero out greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Business Secretary Alok Sharma told members of parliament that his department was drawing up a detailed strategy that would be published early next year, setting out a pathway for driving investment in the clean fuel. The forthcoming energy white paper would also include plans for hydrogen, he said.
