The UK sits on a potential energy goldmine. The British Geological Survey estimates the nation could store up to 3,000 TWh of hydrogen – a staggering figure dwarfing the 60-100 TWh that the Royal Society said would be needed by 2050.
Aberdeen-headquartered Glacier Energy has acquired a Teesside fabrication business as part of a push to strengthen its hydrogen storage and distribution offering.
Fresh from putting shovels in the ground on a £350 million cable factory in Scotland, Japanese conglomerate Sumitomo has backed plans to develop hydrogen storage capacity with UK Oil & Gas in Dorset and Yorkshire.
FILLING up at the pumps with hydrogen instead of petrol has moved a step closer to reality, with the launch of a new company that holds the technology to make it happen.
