UK handed energy ‘jackpot’ as Scotland’s huge goldmine could export £25bn a year to EU

Experts have hailed hydrogen’s incredible potential to replace natural gas in a number of sectors, including transportation, commercial, industrial and residential as well as being a portable energy source.

Experts even believe that once the hydrogen industry grows large enough, it could power cars, lorries, aircraft, ships, and be piped into homes in much the same way that conventional gas is at present.

However, experts, including Mei Chia, Senior Business Lead in Carbon Capture at Honeywell Sustainable Technology Solutions have previously told Express.co.uk that the road to get there is long, and can be broken down into multiple stages leading to commercial transportation and residential use. 

Earlier this month, the Scottish Government released its Hydrogen Action Plan which aims to achieve an ambition of 5GW of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen by 2030.
