WThis week, DESNZ produced a ‘Draft Strategy and Policy Statement for Energy Policy in Great Britain’ setting out the present government’s priorities for the UK energy system in future. Since nothing much has happened since 2019. it seems unlikely that targets of 10GW new hydrogen by 2030 will be reached, especially since DESNZ does not do much on hydrogen vehicles and buildings which represent 80% of UK climate change carbon release. Most of the blurb is chat about the future role of the National Energy System Operator (formerly the Future System Operator) which has little chance of increasing grid power by the necessary factor 5 in the short time available.
