Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder: Pioneering Energy Transition Lecture in York
Key Ideas
- Hydrogen is recognized as a crucial element in the energy transition, alongside wind and solar energy, to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
- SSE Thermal and Equinor are collaborating on the Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder project in East Yorkshire, aiming to demonstrate hydrogen electrolysis, storage, and utilization for generating green power.
- The project involves a 35MW electrolyser, salt cavern storage, and hydrogen-fired turbine to produce flexible green power in compliance with the Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard.
- The lecture by Paul Walker will address the importance of hydrogen and storage in the future energy landscape, focusing on the Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder project's specifics.
The Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder project in York is set to play a significant role in the energy transition towards a sustainable future. Hydrogen, identified as a pivotal component alongside renewable sources like wind and solar energy, is crucial for achieving the global goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. SSE Thermal and Equinor's collaborative effort in East Yorkshire aims to pioneer a project integrating hydrogen production, storage, and power generation. The project, located at the Aldbrough Gas Storage site, plans to showcase the synergy of hydrogen electrolysis, salt cavern storage, and 100% hydrogen-fired electrical generation. By utilizing green power from the grid and adhering to the Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard, the project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of flexible green power production. The upcoming lecture by Paul Walker will delve into the importance of hydrogen and storage in the context of the evolving energy landscape, with a specific focus on the Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder project's innovative approach.
