ScottishPower has submitted a planning application for the UK’s largest electrolyser as part of the Green Hydrogen for Scotland project.
The 20MW electrolyser will be built close to the country’s largest onshore wind farm, Whitelee, just outside of Glasgow. It will be capable of producing 8 tonnes of green hydrogen a day, ScottishPower said.
Together with the electrolyser, the planning application includes a proposal to build a combine solar and battery energy storage system. This would consist of up to 40MW of solar, made up of 62,000 individual solar cells, and up to 50MW of battery storage, to work with the wind farm to power the electrolyser.
ScottishPower unveils plans for UK’s largest electrolyser
ScottishPower has today (12
th April) unveiled plans for what it says will be the UK’s largest electrolyser to be built on the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland.
The energy firm has submitted a planning application for a new 20MW electrolyser which would be built close to the UK’s largest onshore windfarm, Whitelee.
The electrolyser is part of a green hydrogen facility that ScottishPower says will be capable of producing eight tonnes of green hydrogen per day – roughly equivalent to fuelling over 550 buses to travel from Glasgow to Edinburgh and back again each day.
