Hydrogen action plan: draft
Our draft Hydrogen Action Plan articulates the actions that will be taken over the next five years to support the development of a hydrogen economy to further our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Scotland’s energy system while ensuring a just transition.
Annex A – Scottish Government Hydrogen Funding Landscape
A just transition to net zero by 2045 will require substantial investment across sectors. The low-carbon funding landscape stretches across various sectors and is populated by schemes offered by the Scottish Government, UK Government and the public sector.
