The Selms Muir Hydrogen Project in Livingston has been shortlisted for UK Government funding through the Second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2), positioning it as a vital player in Scotland's clean energy ambitions. Gregor Poynton MP describes this as a 'game-changing opportunity' for the local economy and the country's renewable energy goals. The project, a joint effort between Hygen and European Energy, aims to establish a 20MW electrolyser hub capable of producing six tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen daily. This hydrogen will have the capacity to power various vehicles in the region, aiding in the reduction of emissions. Co-located with the Selms Muir Solar Farm, the project is set to displace a significant amount of CO₂ over its operational life, aligning with Scotland's net zero targets. The recognition of this project emphasizes the importance of hydrogen as a sustainable energy source and its role in achieving environmental objectives. With the potential to create green jobs and contribute to the country's low-carbon economy, the Selms Muir Hydrogen Project signifies progress towards a cleaner future for Scotland.
