University of Aberdeen Hydrogen "Bank" Research

Lodged by Kevin Stewart Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the work of researchers at the University of Aberdeen, who are developing technologies that will enable electricity generated by renewables to be "banked" as green hydrogen in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, alongside industrial carbon emissions; understands that this research work could play a key role in Scotland's ambitions to become a net zero nation, and could help in the country's efforts to become a major exporter of hydrogen; wishes Dr Prashant Jadhawar and his team all the best with their endeavours, and commends the Net Zero Technology Centre's Net Zero R&D Programme, which is funded by the Scottish Government, the Scottish Funding Council and Scottish Enterprise, and industrial partners for their support.
