Building an investable hydrogen value chain in scotland
Against a backdrop of concerns over energy security, extreme price volatility and the climate crisis the potential role
of low-carbon hydrogen is rapidly moving up the agenda.
This report – produced by Addleshaw Goddard in partnership with global investor Equitix – shines a spotlight
on the opportunity for the Scottish economy to deliver a truly tangible hydrogen economy.
The global opportunity. Scotland's unique position
In recent years Scotland has been playing an increasingly active role in exploring the potential for low-carbon hydrogen
with more than 60 pilot and demonstration projects underway, from the world’s first hydrogen powered double-deckers
being used on the roads of Aberdeen to the first tidal-powered hydrogen electrolyser in Orkney.

What the experts say
“Scotland has a key role to play in the development of a UK hydrogen economy, with potential to produce industrial-scale quantities of hydrogen from offshore and onshore wind resources, wave and tidal power, as well as CCUS, supported by a strong company base and valuable skills and assets in oil and gas, offshore wind and energy systems." – Graham Stuart, UK Minister for Energy
“If the policy gaps are addressed, and the UK Government jumps on the opportunities in Scotland, we could be a major exporter of clean energy with thriving clusters and local economies.” – Pete Wishart MP, Scottish Affairs Committee Chair
