UK Government Takes First Steps Towards Hydrogen Fuel Cell Infastructure

The government in the UK is taking the first baby steps towards creating a hydrogen fuel cell infrastructure. It launched a £400 million project together with Nissan, Toyota, Vauxhall, Daimler and nine other companies to make fuel cells in the UK a reality. 

The government and these companies will develop an action plan to bring hydrogen fuel cells to the market within four years. The first steps are to investigate the emissions benefits of fuel cell vehicles, find what is needed to create a fuel cell infrastructure and find what is needed to make the UK a hub of fuel cell manufacturing. 

“This country has a number of world-class companies that are developing exciting technologies in both the hydrogen energy and automotive value chains and it is vitally important that we identify what is required to make these cars a realistic proposition for UK consumers,” said Business Minister Mark Prisk.
