Consultation on green hydrogen facility in Inverness
Highland Council is asking people in Inverness for their views on plans to develop a green hydrogen production facility on a former waste landfill site. A consultation is started on a proposal to change the use of an area owned by the local authority in East Longman. Storegga Hydrogen (Cromarty) Limited wants to build and operate a facility capable of producing about 6,400 tonnes of electrolytic hydrogen every year. Residents have until 15 July to respond. What is green hydrogen? Hydrogen atoms are found in substances like water, plants and fossil fuels, and they can be turned into fuel for cars, heat for homes and power for fuel releases water when it is consumed, rather than carbon energy is used in the process to make green hydrogen. Storegga Hydrogen (Cromarty) Limited claims the Inverness facility could reduce carbon emissions and support the decarbonisation of the Longman Industrial Estate. The company is seeking to lease an area of land owned by Highland Council.
