Grangemouth

Unite proposes converting the refinery to a bio-fuels hub, preserving jobs and aligning with government policies, while urging government intervention against closure.

Closure impacts 400 jobs; £100M pledged for green projects. Focus on reskilling, clean fuels, and hydrogen. Other site operations remain.

The project will produce up to 3.6 tonnes of hydrogen per hour by 2029, aiding decarbonisation and supporting Scotland's net zero goals. Initial capacity is 200MWe, with potential expansion to 600MWe.

All staff to be redeployed. Decision follows reduced demand and import pressure. Consultations with employees and Trade Union to begin. Ethanol supply to continue from Herne, Germany.

The hydrogen plant, operational by 2030, aims to cut site emissions by 1 million tonnes annually, supporting net zero by 2045. It will utilize Scottish Cluster CCS and contribute to the Forth Green Freeport bid.

The Forth Green Freeport aims to boost industry, create 50,000 green jobs, and support net zero targets, with significant investments in hydrogen and manufacturing, benefiting local communities and the economy.

The trial at Grangemouth will test repurposing natural gas pipelines for hydrogen, aiming to support a low-cost, low-disruption hydrogen system for UK homes and businesses.

The new plant aims to cut site emissions by 60% by 2030, with CO2 stored offshore. It will replace hydrocarbon fuels with hydrogen, supporting a local hydrogen hub and the Scottish Cluster CCS project.

The trial at Grangemouth aims to convert hard-to-recycle plastic into food-grade material, enhancing circularity and reducing landfill. The project uses advanced recycling to create sustainable packaging.

The project aims to capture and store up to one million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2027, supporting Scotland's climate targets and utilizing the Acorn Project infrastructure for carbon reduction.
