Title University of Aberdeen Hydrogen "Bank" Research Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet The Scottish Parliament (Chambers and Committees) Media type Print Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 8/09/23 Description That the Parliament welcomes the work of researchers at the University of Aberdeen, who are developing technologies that will enable electricity generated by renewables to be "banked" as green hydrogen in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, alongside industrial carbon emissions; understands that this research work could play a key role in Scotland's ambitions to become a net zero nation, and could help in the country's efforts to become a major exporter of hydrogen; wishes Dr Prashant Jadhawar and his team all the best with their endeavours, and commends the Net Zero Technology Centre's Net Zero R&D Programme, which is funded by the Scottish Government, the Scottish Funding Council and Scottish Enterprise, and industrial partners for their support.

The technology under development at the University's School of Engineering could reduce constraint payments made to windfarm operators to stop generating electricity when production is too high, by allowing the excess electricity to be converted to green hydrogen.
"By offering the safe and effective storage of bulk quantities of hydrogen and CO2, our project offers a unique opportunity to help Scotland meet its hydrogen production targets as well as offering the potential for Scotland to become a net exporter of hydrogen"
