An article in the Independent this weekend has highlighted the shortfalls of the current government energy strategy. It is an urgent wakeup call to give hydrogen a greater role, which appears to have been overlooked in favour of battery powered electric vehicles.

This position is reinforced by comments from Dr Graham Cooley, of ITM Power:

"The US and German governments have made a commitment to hydrogen. But in UK government policies there is no mention of the use of hydrogen," he says. "It is a huge and serious oversight."

"Now every car company in the world is coming out with hydrogen cars. But what has the UK done? We did the classic British thing. We picked the wrong technology."
