Groundworks commence at Inverness green hydrogen site
Getech, a geoenergy and green hydrogen company, is pleased to
announce the commencement of demolition works at the former SGN
Commercial Services ("SGN") gas holder site in Inverness.
Demolition and clearance of the site is being undertaken by SGN,
and is expected to take 12 weeks. Following completion of this
work, Getech will begin the development of its planned green
hydrogen facilities, subject to necessary approvals.
Concurrently, Getech continues to progress the engineering
design of the Inverness green hydrogen production, storage and
dispensing facilities, which it intends to expand into a regional
Highlands hydrogen network.
Getech's Chief Executive Office, Dr Jonathan Copus,
commented:
"Today marks the start of the groundworks needed to progress our
green hydrogen hub i n Inverness . The hub, which is located
between the city's rail depot and the industrial area, is uniquely
positioned to supply large-volume anchor transport customers.
"The facility, planned to scale over time to a 20 MW capacity,
producing c.8 tonnes of green hydrogen each day, will supply rail
demand from Inverness station and a significant portion of the
area's heavy goods vehicles and bus fleets. We share a vision with
SGN and the Highland Council to establish the Inverness hub as an
anchor asset for a world-class green hydrogen network spanning the
Scottish Highlands. This network will support job creation, deliver
energy security and provide a sustainable path for the region's net
zero transition.
"Through the application of our geospatial and economic
analytics, Getech is ideally positioned to accelerate the adoption
of green hydrogen and to grow its market share in the energy
transition. With the UK government targeting at least 50% of its 10
GW by 2030 hydrogen production to come from green hydrogen, we look
forward to replicating and scaling our operations, both in the UK
and internationally ."
Marcus Hunt, Director of Commercial Services and Investments at
SGN, said:
"It's great to see the start of the re-generation of SGN's
redundant gas holder site in Inverness. SGN and Getech are aligned
around the concept of making green hydrogen a reality in the
Highlands and the UK. The opportunity to transform redundant
industrial sites, like this one, into green hydrogen transport hubs
is a great example of how hydrogen offers a path to revitalising
the country's infrastructure on the journey to a low-carbon
economy. This project is an important foundation which could help
accelerate the Highlands' broader hydrogen economy and support the
UK's journey to net zero."
