Is hydrogen – which does not produce CO2 when burned, is light, and is easily storable – the best way to mitigate carbon emissions?

Just a few years ago in 2021, the UK was an established leader in the global hydrogen economy. The then-Conservative government’s Hydrogen Strategy was attractive for investors looking to produce and use low-carbon hydrogen.
