A game changer for the future
The UK is taking a bold step to dominate the global green hydrogen industry, investing billions in renewable energy projects and advanced hydrogen technologies. With government support and private sector backing, the country is set to become a key player in the clean energy transition.
Key companies driving innovation
Major companies such as ITM Power, BP, Shell and Johnson Matthey are leading the way, building large-scale hydrogen production facilities and infrastructure for energy, transport and homes.
How it benefits people
Cheaper electricity bills: As production increases, green hydrogen will reduce costs for businesses and consumers.
Clean air and lower emissions: Transport and industry running on hydrogen will significantly reduce CO₂ emissions and pollution.
New jobs and economic growth: The green hydrogen sector is expected to create thousands of jobs across the UK.
Green hydrogen formula
Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis using renewable energy (wind, solar) to split water into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) – an emissions-free process.
Current market prices
Cost of green hydrogen: $3-6 per kg (expected to fall below $2 per kg by 2030).
Investment opportunities: The UK hydrogen market is forecast to reach $50 billion by 2040.
Key locations for hydrogen production
Teesside & Humber are the UK’s leading hydrogen hubs.
Scotland has large offshore wind projects providing hydrogen production.
Wales is home to innovative hydrogen storage and transport projects.
Growing business and sales
Companies are securing multi-million pound contracts with governments and industries around the world. Hydrogen exports are expected to boost the UK economy, making it a leader in clean energy trade.
Views from environmentalists and business leaders
Environmentalists: Support green hydrogen as a key solution to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change.
Business leaders: See clean hydrogen as a profitable and sustainable alternative to traditional fuels, driving long-term investment and innovation.
Thanks to strong policy, corporate investment and growing global demand, the UK is positioning itself as a global leader in clean hydrogen. The clean energy transition is no longer a vision – it is happening now.
