Scotland's HyLion Network: Revolutionizing Hydrogen Supply Chain
Key Ideas
- MHP Consulting supports Scotland's HyLion network in creating a transnational supply chain for hydrogen-based e-methanol in Lockerbie.
- The project aims to produce 9,000 tonnes of hydrogen and 45,000 tonnes of e-methanol annually by 2028 using biogenic CO2 from biomass power plants and the whisky industry.
- Various companies like E.ON Energy, CO2 Recovery Ltd, McPhy Energy, and Cadeler A/S are involved in different aspects of the hydrogen production and usage process.
- The initiative aligns with Scotland's hydrogen strategy to deliver up to 3.3 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2045 and has gained 'Green Investment Portfolio' status.
MHP Consulting is set to support Scotland's HyLion network in establishing a transnational supply chain for hydrogen-based e-methanol. The project's initial pilot will be located in Lockerbie, where the goal is to utilize 63,000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 annually to produce 9,000 tonnes of hydrogen and 45,000 tonnes of e-methanol by 2028. Companies like E.ON Energy, CO2 Recovery Ltd, McPhy Energy, and Cadeler A/S will play key roles in various stages of the production and utilization process. The e-methanol produced can be converted into e-fuel for automotive or aviation applications, and Mareneco will handle its supply and transport to ports like Cairnryan and Grangemouth. Dr. Sylvia Trage emphasized the importance of CO2-reduced hydrogen in achieving climate targets, with Scotland's wind resources providing a solid foundation for scalable production. The HyLion network's alignment with Scotland's hydrogen strategy and its 'Green Investment Portfolio' status highlight the project's significance in promoting sustainability and meeting future energy demands.
