Green hydrogen for Glasgow, then Scotland

Green Hydrogen for Scotland – a partnership of ScottishPower Renewables, BOC and ITM Power – has been established to create new green hydrogen production facilities, with clusters of refuelling stations across Scotland.

The partnership’s first project, Green Hydrogen for Glasgow, is designed to provide carbon-free transport and clean air for communities across the city, which wants to become the first net zero city in the UK by 2030. A proposed hydrogen production facility located on the outskirts of the city will be operated by BOC, using wind and solar power produced by ScottishPower Renewables, to operate a 10 MW electrolyser delivered by ITM Power. 

The project aims to supply hydrogen to the commercial market within the next two years. Powering the electrolyser from renewable sources like wind and solar power means the process is completed without any carbon emissions – making the hydrogen ‘green’.
