Energy Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 May 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill [Lords].

Will the Secretary of State say a little about hydrogen? As he will know, there is real concern about putting a hydrogen levy on household bills at a time when so many people are already struggling to pay those bills. Will he look again at where to put the funding for hydrogen? Secondly, will he accept that using hydrogen for households—for home heating—is very inefficient? It is expensive, and it brings safety risks. We do need hydrogen for hard-to-decarbonise sectors, but will the Secretary of State rule out using it in homes?
