英国政府投资新能源，促就业|E0819

▍原文

Thousands of new jobs could be created 

by investing in clean hydrogen fuel

to power vehicles and heat homes, the British government says.

Ministers have unveiled a strategy for kick-starting a hydrogen industry, which they say could attract billions of pounds in investment.

Using hydrogen gas as a fuel

produces only water as a by-product, 

rather than greenhouse gases such as CO2, 

which are harmful for the climate.
