Description

Marubeni is interested in developing a Green Hydrogen Production Facility to the northwest of the Auchentoshan Distillery in Clydebank, comprising the following core components PEM Electrolyser 8.75 MW or 17.5MW producing 500 2000 tons of green hydrogen per year. Electrical and water connections Hydrogen Pipeline Onsite Hydrogen storage 30 bar and 300 bar. Waste Heat Recovery Pipeline for low-grade heat to Auchentoshan Distillery 9 10MW of freestanding solar panels on a 7.3Ha site to the south of the distillery. The project will produce Hydrogen on site through electrolysis. The distillery currently used natural gas to produce heat for the distilling process and to heat the buildings. This gas will be replaced by the hydrogen to be produced on the adjoining site. Hydrogen will be stored within the facility until it is needed and provide this green energy and heating with any surplus Hydrogen being compressed for tube trailer storage and sold to other customers. The project is also expected to make a significant contribution to the Scottish Governments ambition to achieve Net Zero by 2045.
