Hydrogen & Fuel Cells in Scotland
Distributed Generation & Meeting Net Zero
Nigel Holmes, SHFCA EUSEW, 18th June 2019
Hydrogen & Fuel Cells for Net Zero
• Scotland’s ambition = Net Zero by 2045
• More Renewable Energy = Make it Work
• Example H2 deployments in Aberdeen & Orkney
• H2 Opportunity for Heat. What about CHP?
• Next Steps for Scotland
Ambitious Net Zero Climate Targets UK Committee on Climate Change:
Year Scottish CO2 Reduction
2030 70%
2035 80%
2040 90%
2045 100%
The May 2019 CCC report also advises combined use of renewables and CCS for delivering Net Zero
Scotland: 100% Renewable Power by 2020

CCC report ‘Quadruple UK renewable power generation by 2050’
Scotland’s Renewable Energy Growth
• 68.1% of Scotland’s gross electricity demand was met from renewables in 2017 (25 TWh)
ABERDEEN
Aberdeen’s Hydrogen Buses
10 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses launched in March 2015 with EU, UK & Scotland Funding
Aberdeen’s Bus Fleet Achievements
1.4MW of Fuel Cell CHP at new AECC
• Three x 440kW Doosan ‘PureCell’ CHP units
• The UK’s (Europe’s?) largest FC-CHP system
• At the new Aberdeen TECA conference hub
• PureCells can also produce H2
ORKNEY
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
Surf ‘n’ Turf Launch 27th Sept 2017
BIG HIT Grant no.: 700092
Creating an Exemplar Hydrogen Territory in the Orkney Islands
Next: Scaling up
with BIGHIT
So what do we do next…
''Production and sale of green hydrogen to large industrial
customers can help stabilize revenues from offshore wind
farms which rely on the market price of power like Holland
Coast South 3&4 will. We are ready to scale-up and bring
down costs of green hydrogen like we have done with
offshore wind.''
Henrik Poulsen, CEO and President of Ørsted, March 2019
Hydrogen Scotland – What Next?
• ‘Learning by Doing’ in Scotland
• Supporting Net Zero by 2045
• Integrating & Using Renewables
• Offshore Wind for H2 at Scale
• Develop Blue & Green Hydrogen
• Energy Transition from Oil/Gas
• Tackle Heat with Hydrogen
