Storegga's Speyside Hydrogen Project: Decarbonising Whisky Production in Scotland
Key Ideas
  • Storegga initiates public consultation for its Speyside Hydrogen project to decarbonise whisky production in Scotland using green hydrogen.
  • The project includes phased build-out of hydrogen production capacity, aiming to deliver 70MW of hydrogen via electrolyser facilities in Ballindallock.
  • Moray, a key location in Scotland's Hydrogen Action Plan, showcases a commitment to low-carbon hydrogen to achieve the 2045 Net Zero target.
  • Whisky was successfully produced in Japan using 100% hydrogen as fuel, marking a significant milestone in the industry's decarbonisation efforts.
Storegga has launched a public consultation for its Speyside Hydrogen project, which aims to decarbonise whisky production in Scotland by utilizing green hydrogen. The project involves building hydrogen production capacity through electrolyser facilities in Ballindallock, with the goal of delivering 70MW of hydrogen in the initial stages. Moray, a significant location in Scotland's Hydrogen Action Plan, is committed to using low-carbon hydrogen to reach its 2045 Net Zero target. The initiative is vital for the whisky industry, especially in Moray, where distilleries account for a large portion of the region's fossil fuel demand. Storegga's engagement with the community through public consultations highlights the importance of stakeholder involvement in sustainable energy projects. Additionally, the successful production of whisky in Japan using 100% hydrogen demonstrates the industry's progress towards decarbonisation. This milestone signifies a shift towards cleaner fuel sources in the distillery sector. Storegga's Speyside Hydrogen project represents innovation in the energy transition, leveraging Scotland's renewable energy resources and expertise in whisky production. The project's alignment with the Hydrogen Policy Statement and the upcoming public consultations reflect a positive outlook for hydrogen initiatives in Scotland's decarbonisation journey.
