Key Ideas
  • £3.4 million in Scottish Government funding allocated to 11 projects to boost Scotland's hydrogen economy.
  • Key funded projects include Sustainable Fuels Orkney and Protium Green Solution’s Lanark Hydrogen Island scheme.
  • Focus on developing green hydrogen production, improving supply chain, and enhancing transport and storage infrastructure.
  • Hydrogen stands as a critical pillar of Scotland’s route to net zero by 2045, promoting a sustainable energy transition.
Scotland's hydrogen economy is set for a significant boost with £3.4 million in funding from the Scottish Government allocated to eleven projects. This investment aims to accelerate the development of green hydrogen production, enhance the hydrogen supply chain, and improve transport and storage infrastructure across the country. Among the initiatives receiving funding are the Sustainable Fuels Orkney project and Protium Green Solution’s Lanark Hydrogen Island scheme. Notably, Green Cat Hydrogen and Storegga Hydrogen are the major recipients, with projects like the Strathallan Hydrogen scheme and the Cromarty Hydrogen projects respectively. The funding follows the Scottish Government's call for hydrogen projects to apply for grant awards, emphasizing the importance of hydrogen in achieving Scotland’s net zero goals by 2045. The government's Hydrogen Action Plan, launched in 2022, lays the foundation for Scotland’s hydrogen economy by supporting early-stage projects and developing regulatory frameworks. Despite challenges such as uncertainty around network and storage infrastructure support, the government is committed to building a robust hydrogen infrastructure, including public investments. Efforts also extend to international collaboration for hydrogen export, recognizing the need for partnerships with the UK and European markets. With a focus on sustainable development and energy transition, Scotland's hydrogen initiatives showcase a positive outlook for a greener future.
