Green Tech Wasted Wind to Clean Hydrogen – GWC Mag gwcmagJanuary 17, 2024031 views Wasted Wind to Clean Hydrogen Net Zero is not just a climate commitment, it is also the foundation for our economic development and energy security strategies, and hydrogen is at the heart of that transition. It’s true for Britain, and especially so for Scotland. The UK enjoys strong natural advantages to become a world leader across the entire clean tech ecosystem, from the large underground caverns off the Yorkshire coast capable of storing carbon and hydrogen, to the powerful winds buffering my constituency of Na h-Eileanan. But we’re also struggling from our early success in the build out of renewables, which grew far faster than transmission capacity was able to keep up. These grid constraints are already costing households and businesses over £1bn per year, and will increase to over £3bn annually before planned solutions are implemented over the next decade, leaving wind turbines to spin idly in the meantime. With growing concern over the cost of net zero, we need to be smarter in how we deliver decarbonisation Offshore Wind and Hydrogen
