Decarbonizing European Supply Chains: HyLion's Plan for e-Methanol Production in Scotland
Key Ideas
- Partners in the HyLion network in Scotland plan to produce CO2-reduced hydrogen from renewable sources and convert it into e-methanol for various applications in the UK and Europe.
- MHP provides strategic and operational advice, supporting the digitalization of the supply chain and aiming to contribute to decarbonization efforts.
- The project involves strong partners like ARUP, Bosch, and E. ON Energy, with plans to produce over 9,000 metric tons of hydrogen and 45,000 metric tons of e-methanol annually.
- The location's advantages in south Scotland offer developed infrastructure and connections to support the production and distribution of e-methanol for industries like shipping, aviation, and motorsport.
In Scotland, the HyLion network is focused on producing CO2-reduced hydrogen from renewable energies to be later converted into e-methanol. This e-methanol is planned for use in shipping, aviation, and motorsport applications in the UK and Europe. Leading the project is MHP, providing strategic advice and digital solutions for the efficient supply chain development. The goal is to contribute to the decarbonization of European supply chains, with potential for significant growth in the future. The pilot project aims to produce 9,000 metric tons of hydrogen and 45,000 metric tons of e-methanol annually, sourced partially from biogenic CO2 and the whisky industry. The project involves a network of partners like ARUP, Bosch, and E. ON Energy, creating a transnational supply chain. The plan includes utilizing wind resources in Scotland for scalable production of CO2-reduced hydrogen. The process involves renowned companies providing biogenic CO2, electrolysis for hydrogen production, and conversion of e-methanol into e-fuel. MHP plays a key role in consulting and coordinating the project phases. The location in south Scotland offers advantages for energy supply and infrastructure. The project has received support from Scottish Development International, with a focus on fitting Scotland's hydrogen strategy and providing scalability and business benefits.
