Plans to create one of Europe’s largest hydrogen plants near Kintore have taken a step forward – despite calls for it to be thrown out.
Statera Energy wants to build the massive 3GW Kintore Hydrogen project near Laylodge.
Once constructed, it would be the largest site of its kind in the UK.
“It’s still a site which would produce a hazardous substance on the doorstep of the residents of Laylodge and Kintore,” she said.
East Garioch councillor Jim Gifford called for the application to be refused. He noted there was a need for a plant like this as it was a “great opportunity” to use extra electricity from turbines.
But, he was concerned about where the site is to be located and the effects it has on the people around it.
Following a vote, the planning permission in principle was granted by 43 to 16, with one no vote recorded. https://www.energyvoice.com/renewables-energy-transition/571581/kintore-hydrogen-plant-backed/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJ4zvVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHlag5ENxC7B_Dc-GuiB0dNgN0BLmXxXPkzHc1npqepKjcMkZNKNe_n7oRtk7_aem_-vQPnmeZYcbg8QDfPwsLoQ
