Norwegian renewable energy supplier Statkraft and Clydeport, a part of the UK's Peel Ports Group, have entered an option agreement to investigate the development of a green hydrogen facility at Hunterston Port and Resource Campus in Scotland. The proposed facility aims to produce, store, and export hydrogen, enabling its shipment from the UK in the form of ammonia. The collaboration is deemed crucial in combating emissions from carbon-intensive industries. Stuart Marley of Statkraft emphasized the strategic location and infrastructure of Hunterston as ideal for the facility. Peel Ports Group's Lewis McIntyre expressed excitement about the project, highlighting hydrogen's importance in the energy transition and its contribution to economic development and job creation in Scotland. The Hunterston site is already set to host various renewables projects, with Peel Ports Group granted planning permission for significant redevelopment. Despite a temporary pause in new green hydrogen projects by Statkraft, the company reaffirms its commitment to advancing its existing green hydrogen portfolio. This partnership underscores the ongoing belief in the long-term significance of green hydrogen in the energy sector.
