ScottishPower has submitted an application for a hazardous substances consent to establish a green hydrogen facility at the Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project site in the UK, known for hosting the largest wind farm in the country. The proposed development includes using electrolysis to create hydrogen from water, powered by nearby wind and solar farms, and storing it in high-pressure trailers for transportation. The facility will also handle controlled substances like diesel and sodium hypochlorite, all regulated under hazardous materials law. Safety measures, including layout design, risk assessments, and compliance with Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations, are highlighted in the application. The site is planned to be located away from public areas, with an emphasis on safety. The project will create job opportunities and operate to lower tier COMAH standards. Environmental considerations, such as peat depth, drainage, and watercourses, have been factored into the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Measures to mitigate environmental impact, handle water discharge, and control run-off have been outlined. The Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project is viewed as significant for hydrogen production and net zero goals, with approval granted in January 2023 after being called in by Scottish Ministers. The application is now under assessment by East Ayrshire Council, with a consultation period for public input.
