\n

Clydeport, part of Peel Ports Group, has exchanged an option agreement with <\/p>\n

Statkraft to explore the development of a green hydrogen facility at its <\/p>\n

Hunterston PARC (Port and Resource Campus) site.<\/p>\n

\"Peel<\/p>\n

The proposed facility would be used for the production, storage and export <\/p>\n

of hydrogen. Linked to the existing jetty at the site via a pipeline, it will <\/p>\n

enable hydrogen export from the UK on vessels in the form of ammonia.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There are several renewables projects at advanced stages at Hunterston, <\/p>\n

including XLCC\u2019s UK-first undersea energy cable factory, Highview Power\u2019s <\/p>\n

world\u2019s largest Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) facility, and Bakkafrost\u2019s <\/p>\n

onshore aquaculture facility.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Peel Ports Group has been granted planning permission for the \u00a3150 million <\/p>\n

($202 million) redevelopment of the site\u2019s marine yard, which it intends will <\/p>\n

house a facility to support offshore wind developments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although it is currently in talks with several developers, the company is <\/p>\n

open to proposals for alternative uses for the marine yard. Talks are underway <\/p>\n

with several more potential customers, with the entire Hunterston site on track <\/p>\n

to generate \u00a33.5 billion ($4.7 billion) in inward investment and create over <\/p>\n

5,000 jobs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lewis McIntyre, Managing Director \u2013 Port Services at Peel Ports Group, <\/p>\n

commented: \u201cThis is a very exciting new development for Hunterston \u2013 hydrogen is <\/p>\n

vital to the energy transition, and we\u2019re proud to play our part in making such <\/p>\n

a development possible here on the west coast of Scotland.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is testament to Hunterston\u2019s vast potential to house a range of <\/p>\n

innovative renewables projects. Not only are we bringing a brownfield site back <\/p>\n

into economic use, it will contribute massively to inward investment and job <\/p>\n

creation in a region that desperately needs it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Late last year, Peel Ports Group announced it would invest \u00a330 million <\/p>\n

($37.7 million) into the development of a new RoRo berth at the Port of <\/p>\n

Sheerness to meet growing demand from new and existing customers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
