Black & Veatch Advances UK's Decarbonization with Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project
Key Ideas
  • Black & Veatch completes FEED study for the Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project in the UK, supporting ScottishPower's decarbonization initiative.
  • The project aims to produce green hydrogen using power from the Whitelee Windfarm, the largest onshore wind farm in the UK, contributing to a low-carbon future.
  • The initial phase will include 10 MW of electrolysis capacity, with plans for expansion to 20 MW, aligning with the UK government's energy transition goals under HAR1 and HAR2 schemes.
  • Black & Veatch's expertise in hydrogen production and commitment to safety are highlighted, reflecting a comprehensive design that prioritizes operational safety and technical excellence.
Black & Veatch has successfully completed the front-end engineering design (FEED) study for the Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project, led by ScottishPower in the UK. The project, located near Glasgow, aims to generate green hydrogen using electricity from the Whitelee Windfarm, supporting the nation's decarbonization efforts. Green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis powered by renewable sources, offers a low-carbon energy solution. The project's initial phase will feature 10 MW of electrolysis capacity, with plans to double to 20 MW in the future. Black & Veatch's work aligns with the UK government's Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) and Round 2 (HAR2) programs, showcasing a commitment to national energy transition goals. The company's emphasis on safety and technical excellence is evident in the comprehensive design, integrating elements like hydrogen compression systems and dispensing stations. Beyond the UK, Black & Veatch is involved in green hydrogen projects globally, highlighting their role in the energy transition. The collaboration with ScottishPower and the Whitelee project exemplifies the integration of renewable energy with innovative hydrogen technology, setting a precedent for sustainable development in the region.
