Norwegian renewable energy supplier Statkraft and Clydeport, part of the UK’s Peel Ports Group, have exchanged an option agreement to explore the potential development of a green hydrogen facility at Clydeport’s Hunterston Port and Resource Campus (PARC) site in Scotland.

According to Peel Ports Group, the Statkraft-proposed facility would be used for the production, storage, and export of hydrogen. Linked to the existing jetty at the site via a pipeline, it will reportedly enable the export of hydrogen from the UK on vessels in the form of ammonia.
