One of the most promising technological developments that can help us transition to net zero is the production of hydrogen fuel, which has attracted significant attention from policymakers and businesses.

This report aims to identify the true potential of the UK’s hydrogen economy, demystify the role that hydrogen will play in helping the UK reach net zero and evaluate the current state of play of hydrogen development in the North.
