The Department for Business and Trade has launched the first
meeting of the Hydrogen Propulsion Manufacturing Taskforce.
The Taskforce will be led by Steve Scrimshaw, former CEO of
Siemens Energy.
Today (27 March) the Hydrogen Propulsion Manufacturing Taskforce
had its inaugural meeting.
As part of the Advanced Manufacturing Plan announced in November,
the government announced the industry taskforce to maximise
investment opportunities for the UK manufacturing of hydrogen
propulsion systems.
The Hydrogen Propulsion Manufacturing Taskforce will identify the
size of the opportunity to invest in the UK design and
development of hydrogen propulsion technologies across land,
maritime, and air transport and also identify synergies with
hydrogen manufacturing in other sectors, building a comprehensive
investment proposition to provide a clear signal to markets.
Delivered in partnership with the Hydrogen Innovation Initiative
and Innovate UK, the group will publish its recommendations to
Government in 2024.
