The Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) in Scotland has launched the 'Energy Hubs: Fill the Backbone' report, focusing on scaling the country's hydrogen production potential and positioning it as a major green hydrogen exporter. The first phase of the Energy Hubs project involves assessing infrastructure, investments, and technologies needed to establish commercially viable energy hubs across key Scottish locations, aiming for 35 GW of hydrogen production by 2045. Recommendations from the report include rapid investment in new technologies, advancements in electrolyser efficiency, development of large energy storage facilities, and optimizing energy vectors within Energy Hubs. The project, supported by the Scottish Government's Energy Transition Fund and industry funding, aims to create large-scale facilities crucial for exporting hydrogen to Europe via the Hydrogen Backbone Link project. Darren Gee, Programme Manager at NZTC, highlights the opportunity for Scotland to lead in green hydrogen production, emphasizing the need for investment, infrastructure, and innovation. Partners such as Altera, Shell, and Wood are involved in this initiative, showcasing broad industry support. The project's second phase plans to explore a 'Super Hub' concept, integrating multiple Energy Hubs to enhance performance and competitiveness. By accelerating smaller-scale projects and establishing a robust supply chain, Scotland aims to capitalize on the expanding European hydrogen market and solidify its position in the global energy landscape.
