A UK-first green hydrogen scheme has been unveiled to decarbonise heat and power at Kirkwall Airport in Orkney. The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) and Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) are collaborating on the project, funded by the Scottish Government, which will see a hydrogen combustion engine installed and demonstrated at the airport this year.
