Leading the UK's
Green Hydrogen
Ambition
Positioning North East Scotland as a global leader in energy excellence and pioneering technologies
A Region Building on Success
Aberdeen is internationally acknowledged as the “oil and gas capital of Europe”, a reputation built over fifty years of offshore engineering activity. Increasingly, Aberdeen is being recognised for pioneering the use of green hydrogen. The city already has a decade of hydrogen production experience, and is home to Europe’s most diverse range of hydrogen transport vehicles. Its ambition does not stop there.
North East Scotland is also ideally placed to deliver a substantial proportion of the UK’s future low carbon hydrogen requirements, potentially up to 20% of the 2030 production target of 10 gigawatts (GW), as a result of new energy transition opportunities, in particular offshore wind, low carbon hydrogen production and Carbon Capture & Storage.
North East Scotland Hydrogen Ambition (NESH₂A) Steering Committee
The North East Scotland Hydrogen Ambition (NESH₂A) Steering Committee is a group made up of experienced executives from both private and public sector organisations based in North East Scotland who are actively working on hydrogen projects, and therefore have key insights into the region’s hydrogen economy potential.
A transport-specific action group has also been formed to build on the initial success of the hydrogen transport project in the region and to accelerate the next phase of transport-focused projects on the ground. The group is made up of experienced personnel from both public and private sector organisations active in the deployment of hydrogen transport in the region.
In September 2025, TH₂ISTLE was successfully selected by the CHP as one of only two out of 18 Small Valley projects submitted from across Europe. The project formally started in May 2026.
NESH2A Partners
The ETZ Hydrogen Campus includes approximately 16 hectares of developable land and will support the significant low carbon hydrogen production growth opportunity across the region.
