ABERDEEN, UK  Port of Aberdeen and Subsea7 have jointly obtained a grant of £150,000 ($186,000) from the Scottish government to investigate storing hydrogen underwater at the new Aberdeen South Harbour.

The "H2Shore - Hydrogen coastal storage and distribution" project will apply engineering analyses to determine the most suitable technological approach and an appropriate offshore location. Additionally, the partners will develop an outline business case.

Xodus will review the distribution and bunkering requirements, along with the equipment, processes and operating procedures.

This is one of 32 projects to receive funding from the Hydrogen Innovation Scheme, designed to stimulate innovation in renewable hydrogen production, storage and distribution.

Stian Sande, group strategy director Energy Transition, Subsea7, said, “We are looking forward to exploring and evaluating suitable concepts with the goal of enabling and accelerating offshore hydrogen production, storage and infrastructure.”
