Project

The Northeast of Scotland has historically been a world leader in the energy sector, and large, first-of-its-kind pioneering projects like Kintore Hydrogen will help unlock investment in wind and hydrogen across the region’s energy sector, retaining that leadership, as we transition to a renewables-led energy system.

Kintore Hydrogen is a groundbreaking project for the UK energy system, and Statera’s largest consented project to date, Kintore represents the best way to produce hydrogen at scale and at the lowest cost to consumer. It will produce green hydrogen using abundant power from Scottish wind farms that could otherwise be turned off, saving billions in wind curtailment costs whilst providing significant carbon savings. Upon completion, Kintore Hydrogen will be able to produce 200 tonnes of H2 per year, this is the equivalent of powering almost 10 million homes.

The first 500MW of operational capacity is expected to be online by 2030, and the green hydrogen produced by Kintore Hydrogen will play an essential role in decarbonising the UK’s carbon-intensive sectors, such as heavy industry and flexible power generation, as well as facilitating long duration storage and the UK’s energy security.
