TÜV SÜD to Operate Green Hydrogen Test Facility in Aberdeen, Advancing UK's Hydrogen Strategy
Key Ideas
- TÜV SÜD to operate the Green Hydrogen Test and Demonstration Facility in Aberdeen, supporting the safe scale-up of green hydrogen production.
- The facility, part of Aberdeen's Hydrogen Campus, will offer open-access infrastructure to test hydrogen technologies for various applications.
- The collaboration aligns with the UK's goal of scaling up hydrogen infrastructure, with a focus on green hydrogen production to achieve decarbonisation targets.
- The project showcases TÜV SÜD's role in the hydrogen sector and follows its authorization under the EU's CertifHy RFNBO Voluntary Scheme for sustainable hydrogen production.
A new Green Hydrogen Test and Demonstration Facility (GHTDF) is set to be developed in Aberdeen, Scotland, operated by TÜV SÜD under a collaboration agreement with UK-based ETZ. The facility, expected to launch in early 2027, will be located in the Energy Transition Zone in the south of the city. It will serve as the flagship site of Aberdeen's Hydrogen Campus, providing infrastructure to test hydrogen technologies like electrolysers, valves, and meters. TÜV SÜD's role will be crucial in supporting the safe and reliable scale-up of green hydrogen production. The appointment of TÜV SÜD was hailed as a major development for Aberdeen by Martin McCormack, the Director for CCUS and Hydrogen at ETZ. The project aligns with the UK government's efforts to expand hydrogen infrastructure, with a focus on green hydrogen production to contribute to decarbonisation. TÜV SÜD's expanding role in the hydrogen sector was further emphasized, with its recent authorization under the EU's CertifHy RFNBO Voluntary Scheme for verifying sustainable hydrogen and e-fuels production. The project in Aberdeen represents a significant step towards achieving the UK's target of 10GW of hydrogen production capacity by 2030, with at least 5GW coming from green hydrogen.
