SSE and Equinor have received planning approval for the Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder project situated in East Yorkshire, UK. This project, located at an existing gas storage site, marks a significant advancement in the UK's hydrogen sector. The initiative involves producing hydrogen through low carbon electricity and a PEM electrolyser, followed by storing it in an underground salt cavern. The stored hydrogen will be used in a 100% hydrogen-fired gas turbine for flexible power generation, enabling SSE to supply low carbon power back to the grid as needed. The project's senior manager emphasized that this development is a crucial step towards the UK's low carbon future and aims to create investment opportunities in the region while contributing to national decarbonization efforts. Additionally, the project will serve as a foundation for broader deployment of hydrogen power in the UK. SSE and Equinor, along with other partners, are actively engaged in multiple hydrogen projects within the UK, highlighting the increasing importance of hydrogen in the country's energy transition. Despite some setbacks in certain projects, the overall sentiment in the industry remains positive, with a focus on urging the government for policy clarity and support to further drive the hydrogen agenda.
