SSE Renewables and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy have linked up under a partnership that will see green hydrogen delivered to the UK and Ireland. On 26 July, SSE Renewables announced that they had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will see them explore the opportunity of producing and delivering green hydrogen through electrolysis. They […]

The Scottish Cluster could deliver 20,600 jobs in the next decade, through developing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), hydrogen and Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies. On 21 July, project partners published a report – commissioned by Storegga – into the employment impact of the Scottish Cluster in Scotland, finding that it could support an average […]

The next phase of the HyDeploy project is set to begin in August, after being given the go-ahead by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). On 23 July, Northern Gas Networks (NGN) announced that Winlaton, Gateshead, will become the first community to receive hydrogen blending through the public natural gas network after the green light […]

The Cromarty Firth could play host to the UK’s largest green hydrogen facility after the North of Scotland Hydrogen Programme carried out a feasibility study.
