Despite concerns over the negative environmental impact regarding local historic sites, Statera Energy have had approval from the Scottish government to go ahead with their Green Hydrogen project, aimed to produce 3GW of H2 in the next decade.

Similar to the goals and timelines set for other leading GH2 projects, this plant is aimed to be in service by 2030 onwards, however progress may be stalled in what must be deemed as one of the most volatile industries across all Renewable Energy sectors.

Valid are the concerns regarding the effect on surrounding areas, but does this disruption outweigh the long-term benefits of the transition towards clean fuels?
