World Hydrogen Day is celebrated to highlight hydrogen's role in the transition to a low-carbon economy. In Scotland, there is support for clean hydrogen in the planning system, with a focus on decarbonizing industrial processes and providing fuel alternatives for transportation. While green hydrogen production in Scotland appears promising due to the availability of renewable energy sources, challenges like limited production capacity and separate planning processes for hydrogen and renewables projects exist. The fourth National Planning Framework (NPF4) in Scotland supports hydrogen development but faces translation challenges at the individual planning decision level. Streamlining the consenting process for hydrogen projects connected to renewables is crucial to meet net zero targets efficiently.
