Comhairle nan Eilean Siar have developed the Outer Hebrides Hydrogen Strategy to encourage the early establishment of a hydrogen economy. Circumstances in the Outer Hebrides (i.e., above average energy costs, the highest density of renewable energy resource in Europe & weak electrical transmission grid constraining the exploitation of the resource using traditional approaches) present a unique opportunity for pre-commercial hydrogen technologies to be demonstrated on a near-commercial basis.A key element of the strategy is the aspiration to create the Hebridean Hydrogen Park. This project aims to Develop a hydrogen skills base within the islands Establish a renewable hydrogen production and supply infrastructure within the Outer Hebrides Demonstrate the opportunities and benefits of hydrogen technologies
