Hydro-C is leading the just transition towards sustainability by focusing on developing economically viable Green Energy solutions. Deploying innovation to challenge the norms with proven sciences. In efforts towards reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigating the impact of climate change, countries around the world have started to shift towards energy production through renewable energy sources; the development of hydrogen production and storage has emerged worldwide as a reliable solution. An innovative technology in this regard is the green hydrogen (GH2) system. In such a system, the source of electricity used in the electrolysers are from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar or a combination of the two. This project proposes establishing Green Hydrogen Hubs (GH18 Hubs) across the UK, France, Germany and Israel to produce 50% more affordable GH2 and position the UK and EU countries as leading players in the GH2 global energy market. This will be achieved by exporting the affordably produced GH2 and relicensing the GH18 Hubs to other countries. This will also help in meeting 2050 the net zero emissions target and offers a innovative and national energy security solution. GH18 Hubs are based on the integration of innovative solutions in GH2 production, using dual frequency plasma electrolysis, with wind panel technology. The project will be managed and owned by a EU based consortium and will include a Centre of Excellence within each hub to ensure continuous development and optimise production capacity. The project will determine the deployment of GH18 hubs in Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Wales, Germany, France and Israel. We prefer access to deep water port for export and refuelling purposes. Multiple potential sites were identified as possible hub sites, namely, Hunterston in Ayrshire, Chapelcross in Dumfries and Galloway, Calder Hall in Cumbria, and Aberdeenshire. Our suggested model will bring new economy to these sites, create thousands of jobs, retain skills and decarbonise the industry.
