In Scotland, The National reported the Scottish Government is set to accelerate plans to export green hydrogen to Germany by sending it by ship. According to the report, acting Energy Secretary Gillian Martin went on a trade visit to Germany last week, where she told journalists that the Scottish Government initially plans to transport the liquid hydrogen by ship before the pipeline is built. She added that the pipeline, if built, could help provide a third of German energy needs by 2030. Martin said: “We will generate more electricity than we can use. We will use the surplus electricity to produce green hydrogen – and we can supply it to Germany.” “The hydrogen will initially be transported by ship. We are hoping for a pipeline that runs from Scotland through northern England to Germany,” she added. The proposed pipeline would end in Emden, Lower Saxony, which is in northwest Germany, the report added.
