First Bus will reportedly install a hydrogen refuelling station at its depot in Aberdeen, Scotland, which has sparked concerns from the local community.

The move comes after the UK public transport company announced it would inject £12.7m ($15.9m) into the city as it introduced a fleet of 24 new electric buses and 12 repower buses. Additionally, the company will install two battery storage containers at the King Street depot.
