The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “‘Moses of climate change’ – Boris Johnson says Britain will be ‘Qatar of hydrogen'” – below is their description.
Britain will become the “Qatar of hydrogen”, Boris Johnson has said as he prepares to lay out his Government’s green agenda today ahead of the Cop26 climate summit.
Speaking at the Global Investment Summit at the Science Museum, the Prime Minister hailed the advances of the private sector in enabling the production of Covid vaccines and bringing wind power to the market.
“And that’s what we’re now doing with hydrogen,” Mr Johnson said. “We want to be the Qatar of hydrogen – I think Qatar may already be the Qatar of hydrogen, but we want to be with you.”
Mr Johnson said the Government will pivot to green power by 2035 as he said the market will ultimately drive consumers to go green.
It came as Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the international trade secretary, suggested that new Government measures to replace gas boilers with heat pumps will be compulsory in the long-term.
However, only 90,000 households will receive vouchers to help with the cost of removing their gas boilers under a scheme to be announced by ministers later today.
