BP has been approved to become the official joint venture partner of Aberdeen City Council, building Scotland’s first scaleable “green” hydrogen facility.
The project is hoped to unlock £700m of economic opportunities for Scotland’s economy by 2030 and is also expected to create thousands of new jobs in Aberdeen and the surrounding area.
The council has not yet identified the site of its new hydrogen plant, but installation and running costs over the next decade are expected to be around £215m.
