Scotland is witnessing a surge in green hydrogen projects, with more than 100 ventures now in various stages of development across the country. This growth, amounting to a two-thirds increase in just two years, positions Scotland as a key player in the global hydrogen market. Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes expressed confidence in Scotland's ability to lead the energy transition while generating high-quality jobs and advancing towards net-zero goals. The Scottish Government is eager to engage with international investors and partners to capitalize on the expanding market for hydrogen and hydrogen technology. Collaborative efforts with Germany have already commenced, with discussions focusing on the potential for Scotland to export hydrogen. The imminent release of a Hydrogen Sector Export Plan will outline the roadmap for maximizing export opportunities and fostering clean, sustainable industrial activities in Scotland. This aligns with the government's Green Industrial Strategy, where growing the hydrogen sector is a top priority. By leveraging the export potential of hydrogen, Scotland anticipates not only economic growth but also the creation of new job prospects and skill development in the burgeoning green energy sector.
