Article summary

RenewableUK has released its ‘Planning for Onshore Green Hydrogen’ report, which is urging the UK government and devolved administrations to reform planning rules to allow green hydrogen projects to be built quickly and efficiently. The report highlights green hydrogen's importance in the country's future energy system and notes the need for a significant boost in production to meet the government's target of 10 GW of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030. The report further outlines the challenges of the current planning regime and provides recommendations to overcome them, along with a guide for developers navigating the system.
