Petrochemical giant Ineos has announced the next step in plans to build a hydrogen manufacturing plant at Grangemouth.
The company plans to invest in a “world-scale, low-carbon, hydrogen plant”, adding that this will be at the “cornerstone” of plans to make the facility more environmentally friendly.
Ineos is inviting engineering contractors to tender for the next stage of the design of the project, and has made clear it wants the carbon dioxide produced from the new plant to be put into carbon capture at the proposed Scottish Cluster Acorn CO2 scheme in Aberdeenshire.
