A new business division focused on green hydrogen has been created by ScottishPower, with its first projects expected next year.
ScottishPower’s first projects will be focused on decarbonising large industry, food and drink and heavy transport. It is looking to work with a range of organisations such as distilleries, the steel industry, petrochemicals and ammonia users, with this expected to support the government’s ambition of achieving 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production in 2030 as outlined in the energy white paper.
However, this will require “a mechanism from government to allow the investment needed to boost competition in green hydrogen going forward,” ScottishPower’s hydrogen director Barry Carruthers said.
