It will. I have spoken to one of the officials who was at a meeting on this this morning. We expect it to be published very shortly. Green hydrogen will have a real role in our country because we will have surplus electricity which we will be looking to convert. It is likely that it will be first used where there is existing use of hydrogen, for example, in refineries. We would expect it to have significant potential use for large industrial heating needs, which are hard to decarbonise otherwise. There will be potential development in the transport sector. It is likely first to be in shipping, sustainable aviation fuels or very heavy transport uses that would be easy to electrify. I do not think the exact role of hydrogen in the transport system will go down to the car. It may have a potential use in trucks. We have already trialled buses on hydrogen. My expectation is that initially it will be used for more heavier transport and on the industrial side. This is where the first uses will take hold.
