Growing Scotland’s hydrogen sector could provide the country with its “greatest industrial opportunity since oil and gas”, Energy Secretary Michael Matheson has insisted.
He state that hydrogen - which can be used in fuel cells generating electricity or heat - could help Scotland meet its net zero emissions targets.
There is also “significant export potential”, he added, with the Scottish Government’s recent paper on the economics of an independent Scotland having set out how this and other renewable energies could be “at the centre of the economy”.
