Hydrogen and carbon capture in Scotland

Inquiry

The Committee will be inquiring into hydrogen and carbon capture in Scotland as a follow up to our renewable energy in Scotland inquiry. We want to hear about Scotland's role in hydrogen production and including opportunities for carbon capture utilisation and storage. The focus will be:

  • The UK Government's Hydrogen strategy;
  • Investment in hydrogen in Scotland;
  • How Scotland can become a world leader in green hydrogen for domestic use and export;
  • A just transition from oil and gas; and
  • Any training required for a hydrogen ready workforce.

We want to hear from people and organisations who focus on hydrogen production in Scotland or those with the potential to work on hydrogen production.

Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry. 

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was 6:30pm on 4 July 2022.
