I thank the Chair. But to be serious about this, the Deputy is correct. Certainly in the maritime sector, the European file is neutral as to what fuels will be used in the future, but in terms of the wider ambition on greenhouse gas emissions reduction, ammonia is referenced as one of those fuels. Obviously, we have ongoing engagement with our colleagues in the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. The national hydrogen strategy will be launched this week, it is hoped, but policy evolution will have to be ongoing on other alternative fuels, ammonia being one. From my engagement with other colleagues at the European Transport Council, particularly in the maritime sector, ammonia is playing a really important role.
