1. Introduction 1.1 What do we mean when we talk about hydrogen? 1.2 How does it answer the decarbonisation question? 1.3 Why hydrogen/whats the size of the opportunity? Where can it be used most effectively? 1.4 How does it help achieve net-zero? Timeline 2. Who are the stakeholders and their roles 2.1 Government/regulators 2.2 System and network operators 2.3 Operators (of various parts of the chain including electrolysers) 2.4 Consumers 2.5 Financiers/insurers 3. Production of hydrogen 3.1 Different types of hydrogen (green, blue, grey) 3.1.1 Focus on green hydrogen + electrolysis 3.1.2 Blue hydrogen with carbon capture (eg, Cadent work) 3.2 What are the differences, how are the different types of hydrogen made? 3.3 Regulation of hydrogen production 3.4 Issues and opportunities 3.4.1 Carbon price 3.4.2 Cost competitiveness 4.
