Scotland Port of Cromarty Firth and Norway’s Gen2 Energy have agreed to develop a channel for hydrogen imports into the country, according to S&P Global Platts. A large electrolyzer facility will also be constructed on the site.
The port is planning to complement its own future hydrogen production with green hydrogen imports and transshipment capabilities for the Norwegian exporter. The port will also become the first transshipment hub for Gen2 Energy upon its completion.
“Norway’s remote northern regions have similar issues to the Highlands in terms of an excess of renewable energy, and constraints on putting that energy into the electricity grid,” said Bob Buskie, CEO of the port. “However, they are significantly more advanced domestically in the production of green hydrogen. The ability to produce and ship hydrogen to new markets is a huge opportunity for them, and they see the Port as a key partner to the U.K. market.”
