ScottishPower explores green hydrogen at Port of Felixstowe to help decarbonise the UK’s busiest port

Both companies have set out a plan to help create a greener port, which could provide clean fuel for customers at Britain’s busiest container port.

The plans include using green hydrogen for onshore purposes, such as road, rail and industrial use, with the potential to create liquid forms, such as green ammonia or e-methanol.

Barry Carruthers, Hydrogen Director at ScottishPower said: “This strategically important project could potentially create a clean fuels hub that could unlock nationally significant decarbonisation for the region, as well as playing a role in international markets.  It’s perfectly located not far from our existing and future offshore wind farms in the East Anglia region, and demonstrates how renewable electricity and green hydrogen can now start to help to decarbonise road, rail, shipping and industry.”
