Speyside Hydrogen Project: Green Energy for Whisky Distilleries in Scotland
Key Ideas
  • Storegga's Speyside Hydrogen project aims to produce green hydrogen to power whisky distilleries in Moray, leveraging renewable energy resources.
  • The project plans to deliver 70MW of hydrogen capacity in two phases near Ballindalloch, contributing to the whisky industry's Net Zero target by 2040.
  • The public consultation, part of the Scottish Government's Hydrogen Policy, emphasizes community feedback for a sustainable, decarbonized future.
  • Other whisky distilleries in Scotland like Glenkinchie, Orkney, Benromach, and Bruichladdich are also exploring green hydrogen as part of their decarbonisation efforts.
Storegga has initiated a four-week public consultation for its Speyside Hydrogen project in Scotland, with the goal of producing green hydrogen to power whisky distilleries and businesses in Moray. Situated in the heart of Scotland's whisky-producing region, the project will utilize the region's renewable energy sources for electrolysis to produce green hydrogen. The project aims to provide 70MW of hydrogen capacity across two phases near Ballindalloch, playing a significant role in helping the whisky industry achieve its Net Zero target by 2040. The first public consultation, open until September 5th, seeks feedback from the local community to refine plans before submission to Moray Council. Neil Hardie, Speyside Hydrogen Opportunity Manager at Storegga, highlights the importance of the project in driving the whisky industry towards a sustainable future. Additionally, Speyside Hydrogen is part of the Scottish Government's Hydrogen Policy Statement and Action Plan, emphasizing the crucial role of low-carbon hydrogen in achieving Scotland's 2045 Net Zero target. Other distilleries in Scotland like Glenkinchie, Orkney, Benromach, and Bruichladdich are also exploring green hydrogen as a means of decarbonization and sustainability.
