Amidst job uncertainties in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, Statera policy manager Phoebe Finn emphasized the significance of the 3GW Kintore Hydrogen project to the region. Recent job losses in the area, including Harbour Energy's decision to reduce its Aberdeen workforce, have heightened the importance of projects like Kintore in providing substantial job opportunities. The project, supported by the local council, aims to leverage the area's existing skills and capabilities, particularly in fabrication and manufacturing. Statera Energy plans to establish the massive hydrogen production facility near Laylodge, utilizing wind power and the River Don for green hydrogen production. The project not only aims to create jobs but also to benefit the local supply chain through cost-effective manufacturing practices. Despite some opposition from Aberdeenshire councillors and concerns about hydrogen safety and environmental impact, Statera continues to engage with the community to communicate the project's advantages. While groups like Historic Environment Scotland have raised objections, citing potential impacts on historical sites, Statera remains focused on addressing community concerns and showcasing the economic and environmental benefits of the project. By emphasizing the job creation potential and the utilization of local resources, Statera demonstrates a commitment to sustainable economic development in Aberdeen and the surrounding region.
