Following the COP26 climate change summit held in Glasgow this year, the UK government has awarded £9.4 million for a hydrogen project on the UK’s largest onshore wind farm near Glasgow.
As the first of its kind, this hydrogen storage project aims to help create high-skilled jobs and drive progress towards decarbonising the UK transport sector.
Following Glasgow’s ambition to become net-zero by 2030, the £9.4 million funding will see the Whitelee green hydrogen project develop the UK’s largest electrolyser, a system that converts water into hydrogen gas to store energy.
Located alongside ScottishPower’s Whitelee Windfarm, it is the largest of its kind in the UK, producing and storing hydrogen to supply local…
