Scotland is investing £3.4 million in eleven projects to drive the growth of its hydrogen economy. The funding from the Scottish Government aims to boost green hydrogen production, improve the hydrogen supply chain, and enhance transport and storage infrastructure for hydrogen. Acting Net Zero Cabinet Secretary Gillian Martin highlighted the importance of hydrogen in achieving Scotland's net zero target by 2045 and positioning it as a significant industrial opportunity similar to the North Sea oil and gas discovery. The government's focus on a just transition ensures no community is left behind in the shift from fossil fuels to low carbon energy systems. The projects were selected after a thorough evaluation process, with initiatives ranging from sustainable fuels in Orkney to industrial research in Aberdeen City. Each project aims to contribute to Scotland's hydrogen action plan and promote a sustainable energy future. The funding distribution reflects a strategic approach to leveraging Scotland's skilled workforce, advanced industries, and abundant natural resources to build a thriving hydrogen economy.
