bp Aberdeen Hydrogen Energy Limited, a joint venture between bp and Aberdeen City Council, has reached a significant milestone by agreeing on the final investment decision for the Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub project. The hub, located in Aberdeen at Hareness Road, will house a hydrogen production, storage, and distribution facility. What sets this project apart is its plan to be powered by electricity generated from a solar farm to be established on the former Ness landfill site. Dr. Oliver Taylor, the CEO of bp Aberdeen Hydrogen Energy Limited, expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting its importance for Aberdeen and its residents. The venture aims to support the region's energy transition ambitions and establish itself as a leader in lower-carbon energy solutions. Both Dr. Taylor and Aberdeen City Council's co-leader, Councillor Ian Yuill, emphasized the growth opportunities for the supply chain and skills development that the hydrogen hub project presents. Louise Kingham, bp Senior Vice President Europe, commended Aberdeen City Council for its leadership in delivering lower carbon energy solutions and highlighted bp's investment in supporting current and future energy needs. The project is scheduled to commence construction activities before the end of 2024, with a production target starting in 2026. Once operational, the hub is expected to produce approximately 300 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, catering to the fuel needs of buses and other fleet vehicles, aligning with Aberdeen's net-zero vision.
