How will Scotland fare in the hydrogen revolution?
It’s plentiful, but not that easy to isolate. And that’s why hydrogen has only emerged slowly as one of the key pillars of the transition to low-carbon energy.
However, momentum is now building. After delays, the UK government has set out a strategy for building up its potential as both an energy source and a very large sector of the economy.
Prediction of pairs or ทดลองเล่นสล็อต identical cards is very difficult and challenging for many gamblers like to do. which of course the opportunity to come out There are few, not different from choosing to predict a tie. But your chances may be a bit bigger because usually in 1 game of betting 50-70 rounds of the showdown. There is always a card, at least 7-10 times, and there is usually a round of it, that is, when it comes out. You might be able to count that How many more times of the showdown Its result will be a pair of cards.
It reckons hydrogen could come to provide between 20% and 35% of the UK’s total energy requirements.
Splitting it from the oxygen in water, through electrolysis, requires big industrial plants with a ready supply of energy. And once distributed, the vision is of 9,000 jobs by the end of this decade, and 100,000 by the middle of the century.
The question in Scotland is how much its energy advantages – renewable power, pipelines, proximity to gas resources, and energy engineering expertise – could put Scots at the heart of that industrial revolution.
Hydrogen’s most likely uses, at least initially, are in heavy industry, and in heavy transport including trucks, buses and rail. Aberdeen already has a fleet of hydrogen buses.
It could also be a gamechanger in home heating, if the technology can allow for a transition from natural gas.
That’s an appealing prospect to gas distribution companies such as SGN. Gas supply can include around 10% hydrogen content, and the existing pipe network could be adapted for an all-hydrogen supply.
There is a localised trial under way in the Leven and Methil area of Fife to see how that could work. A desktop exercise is being carried out to see what would happen if the entire east of Scotland SGN pipeline network were shifted from gas to hydrogen.
