Hydrogen in the UK: Landscape, barriers and global relevance

Our report offers a clear and comprehensive view of the UK’s hydrogen landscape, from project delivery and evolving policy to the key barriers slowing progress. It explores the high costs and grid constraints facing green hydrogen, the gaps in storage and infrastructure, and the growing role of hydrogen across transport, heavy industry and heavy duty machinery.

We also look outward, assessing how global leaders are advancing hydrogen and RFNBO deployment, the lessons the UK can adopt, and what investors, insurers and developers need to accelerate growth.

The report includes a dedicated white paper on green hydrogen as a solution to the UK’s renewable energy curtailment challenge. With grid constraints, particularly in high generation regions like Scotland, forcing the government to pay renewable producers to switch off, billions of pounds-worth of clean power is wasted each year. The white paper sets out a strategic alternative: converting this surplus renewable electricity into green hydrogen, transforming a system inefficiency into a valuable, low carbon resource and helping rebuild public confidence in the energy transition.
