New plastic to hydrogen facility in West Dunbartonshire approved

Plans for a £20m facility in West Dunbartonshire to turn waste plastic into hydrogen have been approved.

West Dunbartonshire Council has given the green light to the plant - the second of its kind in the UK. The plans were lodged by Peel NRE, part of Peel L&P, for the site at Rothesay Dock on the north bank of the River Clyde.

The 13,500 tonne facility will use Powerhouse Energy’s technology to create a local source of sustainable hydrogen from non-recyclable plastics that would otherwise be destined for landfill, incineration or export overseas.
