[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n \n RNS Reach\n \n \n \n 14 December 2022\n \n \n \n Getech Group plc\n \n \n \n \n (\"Getech\" or the \"Company\")\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Milestone achieved at green hydrogen hub in Inverness\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Getech (AIM: GTC), the geoenergy and green hydrogen company, is pleased to announce the completion of the first step in developing the Inverness green hydrogen hub. Working with SGN Commercial Services, phase one has seen the successful deconstruction of Inverness' former gas holder, paving the way to convert a legacy natural gas holder site into a future green hydrogen storage and distribution facility. \n \n \n The site forms an important element of Getech's broader hydrogen network development for the Scottish Highlands. Situated alongside Inverness' rail head, it is ideally positioned to supply clean fuel to the hydrogen trains that will operate in this region.\n \n \n The completion of phase one represents an encouraging step in the process to develop a multi-hub green hydrogen network, with Inverness at its core. Through revitalising this legacy gasworks as a green hydrogen hub, the site can maintain its significance to energy storage and distribution in a net zero future. This asset will kick start the decarbonisation of rail across the Scottish Highlands by providing a facility specifically designed to service hydrogen train fleets in the centre of the Scottish Highlands.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Your browser does not support HTML5 video.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The time-lapse video of the gas holder deconstruction is available here: https://getech.com/media/\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dr Jonathan Copus, Getech CEO, commented:\n \n \n \n \n \n \"The completion of demolition of the SGN gas holder site demonstrates tangible progress in our hydrogen operations in Inverness and forms part of a range of broader strategic initiatives being undertaken by Getech to achieve the production, storage and supply of green hydrogen - supporting our ambition to establish at least 500MW of new geoenergy and green hydrogen assets by 2030. Hydrogen has a critical role to play in the clean energy transition and we continue work closely with stakeholders, including The Highland Council, to establish a network of green hydrogen hubs across the Scottish Highlands.\"\n \n \n \n \n Marcus Hunt, Di...
