Steve Fraser, chief executive officer at Cadent, shares his initial reaction to the Prime Minister's ten point plan for our green recovery:

“We welcome the Prime Minister’s ambition for a Green Industrial Revolution, set out today in his 10 point plan.  These bold commitments will ensure that the UK is a leader in developing a cleaner, greener economy with the creation of jobs across the country.  We have long championed a whole-system approach to tackling climate change and are delighted to see hydrogen and carbon capture storage highlighted as key to decarbonising our economy.

"Our current trial demonstrating the delivery of hydrogen into the home will make a strong basis for the hydrogen neighbourhoods.  We will continue to work with the government and partners to support the plan and delivery of our country’s green ambitions.”
