As of 2023, there was not any hydrogen produced through electrolysis in the United Kingdom. However, it is forecast that green hydrogen production in the UK could amount to 161 terawatt hours in 2050 in the Hydrogen Evolution energy scenario.
Electrolytic production of hydrogen in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2023, with forecast figures for 2030 to 2050, by scenario
(in terawatt-hours)
Electrolysis using zero carbon electricity is used to produce green hydrogen (the figures stated do not include hydrogen which is produced directly from nuclear or bioenergy sources)
