Aberdeen City Council has initiated a bid to establish a 'hydrogen valley' in northeast Scotland with the TH2ISTLE project, a collaboration of 30 partners. This project aims to integrate hydrogen production, storage, and end-use applications to contribute significantly to the region's decarbonisation goals, aligning with Scotland's net-zero target for 2045. By implementing five hydrogen production sites across the region, a steady supply of green hydrogen is ensured, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and enhancing energy security. The project's goal is to produce up to 627 tonnes of hydrogen annually by 2028, with potential for significant scalability. It is estimated that the initiative could create between 700 and 1,000 jobs during the initial phase and up to 13,000 jobs by 2030. This job creation is expected to come from the development of new skills and training programs, particularly targeting the existing oil and gas workforce in the region. Aberdeen's long-standing reputation as an energy capital and its decade-long involvement in hydrogen innovation position it perfectly to lead in this energy transition. The city's rich energy heritage, skilled workforce, and strategic location near renewable resources like offshore wind make it an ideal hub for spearheading sustainable energy initiatives.
