Storegga has submitted a planning application to develop its 25-tonne-per-day green hydrogen facility in Scotland.
Located in Marypark, Ballindalloch, Storegga has submitted its proposal to the Moray Council. The planning application follows two public consultations and is now under review. If approved, production is expected to begin next year.
The Speyside Hydrogen Facility will produce hydrogen using an electrolyser to decarbonise the nation’s whisky industry, which reportedly recorded over 600,000 tonnes of CO2 in 2022.
A recent report, published by elementenergy, identified distilleries as the third largest demand source for hydrogen in the industry, with the potential annual hydrogen demand for all distilleries in Scotland estimated to be 1.4 TWh.
