In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that green hydrogen projects in Scotland have risen by two-thirds in just two years. According to figures compiled by Scottish Enterprise, more than 100 projects are now in various stages of development, up from 61 in 2022. Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes confirmed the country’s growing potential for hydrogen production and export. She also reiterated the Scottish Government’s desire to work with international investors and partners. A Hydrogen Sector Export Plan will be published shortly, according to the report. “The development of Scotland’s hydrogen economy can provide economic and social benefits as well as helping us realize our net zero ambitions,” said Forbes. “The potential international trade opportunity from hydrogen is considerable and market signals for the importing of hydrogen are growing strongly. This opens up new economic and jobs and skills opportunities and the development of clean and enduring industrial scale activity here in Scotland,” she added.
