Hydrogen opportunity could evaporate

Hydrogen opportunity could evaporate

During a recent visit to the USA the First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon gave a speech at the Brooking Institute in which she expressed extensive support for the proposition that hydrogen will be an essential part of the move away from fossil fuels.

In fact Ms Sturgeon said Scotland is “working to position ourselves as a hydrogen centre of excellence” and “to become the most reliable and lowest-cost green hydrogen producer in Europe”

The First Minister also repeated that the aim was to have the capacity, by 2030, to create 5 GW of hydrogen production capacity and added that the ambition for 2045 is to have the capacity to produce some 25 GW of hydrogen, much of which will be exported.
