New pipeline will accelerate Scotland’s green hydrogen export potential, says report
Envirotec Magazine
AUGUST 31, 2023
Scotland’s hydrogen production and export potential could be significantly accelerated with the development of a purpose-built marine pipeline according to a report published on 31 August by the Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC). NZTC’s Hydrogen Backbone Link project explored the critical hydrogen transport infrastructure required to deliver a cost-effective pipeline solution which would position Scotland as a front runner in the development of a pan-European hydrogen infrastructure for export.

Electrofuels Are the Future: The Driving Force to Decarbonizing Heavy Transport
Speaker: Ayesha Choudhury - Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets at Infinium
With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
