Cromarty Firth in Scotland
Scottish Power and Storegga develop green hydrogen project
Cromarty Firth facility near Inverness is first of several the companies plan to develop across Scotland by 2030
Utility Scottish Power and carbon-capture specialist Storegga plan to develop a green hydrogen project in Scotland’s Cromarty Firth region with the potential to scale up to 300MW. The project, which is designed to produce 20t/d of hydrogen from 2024 and will be scaled up in a series of modular phases, will be the first to move forward under a partnership between the two UK-based companies. They aim to develop and operate “hundreds of megawatts” of capacity across Scotland before the end of the decade. “This is a really exciting milestone in our ambitions to support the growth of green hydrogen production across the country and the decarbonisation of heavy industry,” says Barry Carruthers, hy
