Inverness Plans Green Hydrogen Facility to Cut 45,000 Tonnes CO2 Annually

Green hydrogen is emerging as a promising alternative to fossil fuels with multiple initiatives underway globally. GeoPura in the UK produces hybrid power generators fueled by green hydrogen, created from excess renewable energy, offering a quieter and cleaner replacement for diesel generators, with clients including major media companies and construction firms. In Inverness, Highland Council is consulting the public on a proposal by Storegga Hydrogen to build a green hydrogen production facility on a former landfill site, aiming to produce 6,400 tonnes of electrolytic hydrogen annually to decarbonize local industry and reduce carbon emissions significantly. In New York, The Raymond Corporation is advancing hydrogen fuel cell technology in warehouses to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with state targets for an 85% emission reduction by 2050 through fast-refueling, zero-emission forklifts. Meanwhile, Wrexham University in North Wales is expanding research on green hydrogen production and lightweight storage technologies to support industrial decarbonization and the UK's net-zero goals, fostering collaboration between academia and industry. These efforts collectively highlight the growing momentum behind green hydrogen as a cleaner, efficient energy source across various sectors.
