The Royal Society, Britain’s oldest scientific academy, has called on the government to kick-start the construction of large-scale hydrogen storage facilities to meet its 2035 Net Zero target for a zero carbon electricity network.
The University of Aberdeen is developing a green hydrogen storage technology which would allow renewable energy to be captured in depleted oil and gas reservoirs.
Recent polling by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) has found a growing appetite for hydrogen technologies but levies on bills should be avoided.
