Question
To ask the Scottish Government what progress has been made towards the establishment of a Scottish Hydrogen Innovation Network to provide support to the hydrogen research and innovation ecosystem in Scotland, as set out in its Hydrogen Action Plan.
Answer
Alongside Scottish Enterprise, we are developing a Scottish Hydrogen Innovation Network (SHINE). SHINE will provide an entry point for Scottish and European companies to access Scottish research and development centres in academic and commercial settings. The resulting innovations will increase the competitiveness of hydrogen technologies and enable collaborative partnerships.
The formal project launch of SHINE will take place at All-Energy on 16 May 2024 with the SHINE website to be launched preceding All-Energy.
