Sustainable Water Solutions for Hydrogen Production

Fuelling Scotland’s Hydrogen Future

Scotland is on the path to becoming a world leader in hydrogen production, with the Scottish Government pledging to achieve 5GW of hydrogen capacity by 2030 and 25GW by 2045. But hydrogen production relies on one critical resource – water.

That’s where we come in. As partners to leading energy developers, we’re driving the development of hydrogen production by ensuring a reliable and sustainable water supply.

Water Solutions for Hydrogen Production – From Feasibility to Operation

Hydrogen production demands a significant amount of water, requiring specialised expertise to manage sourcing and supply. Our team of experts delivers bespoke water solutions, conducting comprehensive feasibility studies to identify the ideal water source for your project. Whether you need potable water, raw water, final treated effluent, or saltwater, we have the knowledge and resources to meet your needs.

But we don’t stop at water sourcing – we assess the entire infrastructure required to maximise efficiency and minimise environmental impact. Our detailed reports give you all the data you need to make informed decisions, offering a clear view of capital investment, operational efficiency, and carbon footprint reduction.

Treated Waste Water – A Sustainable Solution

As the hydrogen industry grows, sustainable water sourcing becomes increasingly important. Treated waste water presents a viable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional water sources. Here’s why:

• Reliable & Climate-Resilient: Unlike rivers or reservoirs, treated waste water provides a consistent, year-round water supply that isn’t impacted by seasonal droughts or climate change.
  
  
• Reduces Freshwater Demand: By using waste water instead of potable water, we help protect drinking water reserves for households and essential services, ensuring water is available where it’s needed most.
  
  
• Boosts the Circular Economy: Repurposing waste water for hydrogen production is a smart, sustainable solution that reduces waste, lowers discharge into the environment, and supports a circular approach to resource management.

By adopting this approach, your hydrogen project can gain a competitive edge while contributing to a greener future.

Co-location Opportunities for Hydrogen Production

We are also offering unique co-location opportunities for hydrogen developers. Our Waste Water Asset Portfolio provides strategically located sites, ready for the development of hydrogen production facilities. These assets give you access to a sustainable and reliable water source, critical for electrolysis, ensuring that your projects can thrive with minimised risk and operational costs.

We understand the challenges faced by hydrogen developers, and our co-location sites are designed to provide long-term solutions that benefit both your production needs and the environment. Our sites are carefully selected for their proximity to key infrastructure, ensuring ease of access to critical transportation networks, power grids, and other vital resources.
