The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the news that the University of Aberdeen is undertaking a project to help establish a sustainable distribution network of hydrogen in Scotland and across the UK; notes that the project, called MHYSTIC, will be led by a team of researchers with expertise in chemical, mechanical and materials engineering, and will also include economic analysis for field applications in geological settings, as part of an effort to advance hydrogen and alternative liquid fuel technologies; understands that the project is one of 10 selected by the UK-HyRES Flexible Fund to advance hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels technologies, with nearly £3 million in funding being awarded overall, and will be supported by international collaborators at the Lithuanian Energy Institute, with industrial partners, including Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group, ABL Group, the European Marine Energy Centre, the Net Zero Technology Centre and John Lawrie Group, developing and disseminating outputs from the project; believes that this project highlights the crucial role that the University of Aberdeen is playing in developing new technologies to drive the just transition to net zero; wishes all those involved in the project the very best, and hopes that it proves to be an overwhelming success.
