Eleven hydrogen production, storage and transportation projects across Scotland are set to receive a share of £3.4m ($4.5m) in funding from the government.
Green Cat Hydrogen’s Creca Hydrogen Facility in Dumfries and Galloway secured the most at just under £500,000 ($664,590). The project, located beside Chapelcross, would be capable of producing over 4,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year.
Additionally, the British company was also earmarked for its Strathallan Hydrogen and Binn Ecopark Hydrogen projects, securing £320,549 ($426,067) and £258,478 ($343,572), respectively.
Protium Green Solutions’ Hydrogen Island in South Lanarkshire was awarded £450,619 ($598,968), while Storegga Hydrogen also had two projects selected by the government – Cromarty Hydrogen Phase 2 Muir of Ord (£290,155) and Cromarty Hydrogen Phase 2 Longman (£238,400) in the Highlands.
“Hydrogen stands as a critical pillar of Scotland’s route to Net Zero by 2045, but also as one of Scotland’s greatest industrial opportunities since the discovery of oil and gas in the North Sea,” explained Acting Net Zero Cabinet Secretary Gillian Martin.
“We are working to build a hydrogen economy in which the benefits of our energy transition are shared, and which harnesses the full potential of our skilled people, our worldclass industries, and our natural resources.”
