Green Cat Hydrogen (GCH) is proposing a green hydrogen project at Chapelcross, near Annan in Dumfries and Galloway, on land purchased by South of Scotland Enterprise. The project aims to create a facility capable of producing over 4,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, reducing CO2 emissions significantly. If approved, the initiative is expected to generate 50 permanent jobs and support an additional 150 positions during construction. GCH emphasizes the importance of community engagement and plans to conduct public events to gather feedback and collaborate with local stakeholders. The project aligns with Scotland's green industrial strategy and the region's transition to net zero emissions. The development of the energy transition zone at Chapelcross is seen as a crucial step towards establishing a green energy hub in the area. South of Scotland Enterprise CEO, Jane Morrison-Ross, praises the project as a valuable addition to the region, highlighting the potential for innovation in energy production and the opportunity for investment. The initiative is viewed positively as a means to address decarbonization challenges in hard-to-electrify sectors and support local industries. The public is encouraged to participate in engagement events to gain insights into the project and its contributions to the region's sustainability goals.
