The production of green hydrogen is set to begin on the west coast of Scotland amid hopes it can decarbonise transport and power hospitals.
A planning application by GreenPower has been approved by Argyll and Bute Council to produce green hydrogen, which it describes as “a zero-carbon fuel that can help meet climate obligations while delivering sustainable fuel for a range of purposes”.
It will now build a production and distribution centre at the Glenshellach Industrial Estate in Oban, with plans to help distilleries and fish farms move away from using fossil fuels.
Green hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of water and powered by renewable energy, and the company hopes it could also be used for heating.
It is also exploring potential hydrogen production at the proposed Barachander Wind Farm, the sister project to Carraig Gheal Wind Farm, a 20-turbine project operated by GreenPower in west Argyll.
