bp Aberdeen Hydrogen Energy Limited, a joint venture between bp and Aberdeen City Council, has approved the final investment decision for the Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub project in Aberdeen, Scotland. The project aims to support the region's energy transition goals and establish Aberdeen as a leader in lower carbon energy. The hub will feature a hydrogen production, storage, and distribution facility at Hareness Road, powered by electricity generated from a solar farm on the former Ness landfill site. This initiative is seen as a crucial step towards the city's net zero vision. Aberdeen City Council leaders expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting its importance in increasing the supply and demand for hydrogen as a fuel, particularly for public transport and council fleet vehicles. The project is also expected to contribute to the development of the region's supply chain and skills. Dr. Oliver Taylor, the CEO of bp Aberdeen Hydrogen Energy Limited, emphasized the project's significance for Aberdeen and its people, presenting growth opportunities for the region. Louise Kingham, bp's senior vice president for Europe, commended Aberdeen City Council for its leadership in delivering lower carbon energy solutions. The project is viewed as a strategic investment supporting both current and future energy needs. The hub's construction is set to begin by the end of 2024, with production targeted to start in 2026, potentially delivering 300 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to fuel buses and fleet vehicles, further advancing Aberdeen's sustainability goals.
