“The game plan for Sullom Voe is not necessarily an individual project, it is about transforming the site from what used to be one of the largest oil terminals in Europe into one of the largest green energy hubs of the future,” Malik explained.
The transition process will require hundreds of millions of pounds of investment and is estimated to create nearly 200 new jobs over coming years.
Nova Innovation has been awarded just over £130,000 for the project through the Scottish Government’s Hydrogen Innovation Scheme.
Meanwhile Sullom Voe Terminal operator EnQuest has been given around £150,000 to undertake a study on the feasibility of producing hydrogen from treated water from the terminal’s water treatment plant via electrolysis.
The site has been earmarked by the operator as a possible future energy hub in the transition away from oil and gas.
