UK is way behind on hydrogen and CCS targets | Hydrogen
The UK is set to fall drastically short of its hydrogen and carbon capture targets for 2030, according to global engineering consultancy DNV’s latest UK Energy Transition Outlook 2025. The government has set ambitious goals of reaching 10 gigawatts (GW) of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity and capturing 20 million to 30 million tonnes of CO2 per year (MtCO2) by the end of the decade. However, DNV forecasts that the UK will achieve just 4 GW of hydrogen capacity and only five MtCO2 per year in carbon capture and storage (CCS), highlighting a major gap in delivery. “Without significant additional government support and incentives, it is unlikely that low carbon hydrogen production rates will meet our 2030 targets,” the report states. DNV forecasts hydrogen production to reach only 0.9 MtH2 per year in 2030, of which… Read More »UK is way behind on hydrogen and CCS targets | Hydrogen
