Not Applicable
Is Decision District Wide
Yes
Decision Made
1. That the Clean Hydrogen Strategy be adopted.
2. That authority be delegated to the Strategic Director, in consultation with the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Economic Development, to make any necessary changes to the strategy in the future.
Reason for Decision
The emerging clean hydrogen sector represents a significant opportunity to further embed East Suffolk’s competitive advantage in clean energy. Furthermore, the proposed hydrogen developments link into a number of our key economic drivers. For these reasons it was an entirely appropriate and proactive response for the Council to take a local leadership role in encouraging and enabling this nascent sector which will deliver greater economic resilience, sustainable growth and support both the district and Council in achieving their net zero ambitions.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected
The Council could have decided to not develop a clean hydrogen strategy and instead allow this emerging sector to develop organically without any public sector enabling.
Any Declarations of Interest Declared
