Hydrogen Innovation Strategy
That this Assembly recognises that Northern Ireland is fast emerging as an innovator in green hydrogen technology; believes there is a need to seize opportunities flowing from the production and storage of green hydrogen to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, improve our energy security and decarbonise transport; is committed to making Northern Ireland a hub for low-carbon and advanced manufacturing within the United Kingdom by harnessing our region’s open coastlines and expanding our hydrogen skills base even further, including through dedicated apprenticeships; calls on the Minister for the Economy to develop, and consult on, a dedicated hydrogen innovation strategy for Northern Ireland; and further calls on the Minister to open discussions with the UK Government to target greater access to funding streams and incentives for businesses, including small and medium enterprises, in the local hydrogen sector.
