3. The 7 roles of hydrogen (Hydrogen Council)

4. Aberdeen hydrogen activity
Aberdeen City Council
Vision, strategy and action:
2013 A Hydrogen Economy for Aberdeen City Region, 2015 Aberdeen City Region Hydrogen Strategy and Action Plan
10 HFC Buses +10, 14 cars, 4 vans, 2 refueling stations, road sweeper, 3 rubbish trucks.

5. Aberdeen hydrogen activity (other examples)
ACC
SGN
Acorn
UoA / RGU
AECC
AECC: Energy centre fuel cell, refueling station
SGN: 300 homes on 100% H2
UoA/RGU: Research on various HFC related matters
Acorn: Hydrogen from gas with CCS at St Fergus
Aberdeen is currently in a leading position

6. The Acorn Project, St Fergus
Steam methane
Reforming
Carbon capture &
storage (CCS)

Aberdeen leadership

13. Summary and actions
The Aberdeen region is in a unique position to be a leader in the hydrogen supply chain as a result of its current leadership position in hydrogen transport and its O&G supply chain
The region needs to look beyond its O&G comfort zone and think big on hydrogen. ACC need help!
Aberdeen should build on its position in hydrogen transport, create broader regional involvement and deliver major regional hydrogen projects
Regional strengths are in HFC deployment, integration with renewables and hydrogen from gas
