HYDROGEN has been endorsed as a key piece of Scotland’s energy mix but environmental campaigners have raised concerns over how “realistic” the government’s plans are.
Last week, the Scottish Government published a 52-page Hydrogen Action Plan as part of a bid to make Scotland a “world leader” in production of the chemical, including establishing an export market, regional production hubs across the country and creating thousands of green jobs.
Net Zero Secretary Michael Matheson claimed hydrogen is “Scotland’s greatest industrial opportunity since oil and gas was discovered in the North Sea”.
