Hydrogen has massive potential across most domestic and business sectors, from transportation, commercial, industrial and residential as well as being a portable energy source. In time, it’s expected that hydrogen will provide power for cars, lorries, buses, aircraft, trains and ships.

Angus Robertson clearly didn’t bother to read this article:

And as for hydrogen use in domestic settings, it’s 6 or 7 times more efficient to use the electricity directly with a heat-pump than it is to convert it to hydrogen then fire it through a gas boiler - complete non-starter
“complete non-starter“
You may say so.
And ‘factually’ you should be correct.
Sadly business/‘the market’/politicians work differently.

The charity said private jets are between five and 14 times more polluting than commercial flights and 50 times more polluting than taking a train. They argue that a “super rate of air passenger duty (APD)” should be applied to account for the damage caused to the planet. The CfBT also called on the government to strip private flights of their current VAT-free status.

One issue mentioned throughout the report is a lack of policy commitment. Skidmore said: “The overwhelming impression I got was we will make net zero more affordable if we are able to deliver further and faster, which requires certainty and consistency of approach. We need to de-risk investment, which will actually drive down the costs of net zero, and if the recommendations put forward by my review are followed we will create incentives to invest in renewables.

From National...
FIRST Minister’s Questions was suspended on Thursday afternoon after an oil protester began shouting from the public gallery.Nicola Sturgeon had been taking a question on the record temperatures recorded in Scotland last year as the activist began to shout.
The first intervention asked the First Minister to “oppose each and every new oil or gas project”.
A second person added: "We need proper opposition to Westminster, no Rosebank and Jackdaw and no new onshore projects like Peterhead - which you have control over."
A third said: "We need to transition to renewables for people not profit. This means no destruction of St. Fittick's, and no reliance on false solutions like carbon capture."
Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone acted quickly to stop proceedings and the campaigners were swiftly removed from the public gallery.
It comes after the Energy Secretary launched the Government's new energy strategy this week.
The document set out the Scottish Government’s goal of expanding renewable energy as oil and gas production in the North Sea is expected to “effectively end” in the next 20 years.
He said the Government is consulting on whether there should be a presumption against new drilling.
