Hydrogen for Scotland’s Clean Transport

& Net Zero Logistics Ambitions

Nigel Holmes, SHFCA Cenex-LCV 4th Sept 2019

Hydrogen for Net Zero

• Scotland’s ambitions for Net Zero by 2045

• Decentralisation, Democratisation, Decarbonisation

• More Renewable Energy – Making it Work

• Scotland’s H2 hot-spots: Aberdeen & Orkney

• H2 Opportunity Mapping for Deployment

• Next Steps towards meeting Net Zero

Ambitious Net Zero Climate TargetsCCC updated advice in May 2019

Year Scottish CO2

Reduction

2030 70%

2035 80%

2040 90%

2045 100%

The CCC also advises combined use of renewables and CCS for rapid and effective carbon reduction

Scotland’s Renewable Energy Growth

• 68.1% of Scotland’s gross electricity demand was met from renewables in 2017 (25 TWh)

1.5TWh of Constrained Wind Energy in 2016

From Joos & Staffell “Short term integration costs of variable renewable energy: Wind curtailment and balancing in Britain and Germany”

UK Constraints 2016 Annual Cost > £100M

Energy Networks: Scotland’s 2030 Vision

• Electricity & Gas networks

• Key & complimentary roles

• H2 for flexibility & storage

• 2030 delivery timescale

Green Hydrogen from Renewables

ABERDEEN = DECARBONISATION

Aberdeen’s Hydrogen Buses

10 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses launched in March 2015 with EU, UK & Scotland Funding

Alexander Dennis H2 Bus – part of the ‘Just Transition’

• 230+ mile of Zero Emission

range

• Heat from the fuel cell used

to keep passengers warm

• Range not compromised by

cold weather

• Rapid H2 refuelling simplifies

bus depot operations

ORKNEY ISLANDS = DECENTRALISATION

Net Zero Energy Systems for Orkney

By 2014 the Orkney was generating 120% of annual

electrical demand from Renewables

• Renewables generate > 100% of Orkney’s electricity

• Over 50MW of installed renewable capacity

• 1000 renewable installations for 10,000 households

• European Marine Energy Centre

• Orkney features in Energy Strategy

Orkney H2 – Started with HIE and Surf ‘n’ Turf

Electrolyser Supported by HIE

Surf ‘n’ Turf Launch 27th Sept 2017

BIG HIT Grant no.: 700092

So what do we do next…

''Production and sale of green hydrogen to large industrial

customers can help stabilize revenues from offshore wind

farms. We are ready to scale-up and bring down costs of

green hydrogen like we have done with offshore wind.''
