Evolution Hydrogen Peterhead (EHP) was established to build, own, and operate hydrogen production projects, facilitating the transition to a greener future by combining technical expertise with innovative technology and engineering capabilities.
Our mission at Evolution Hydrogen Peterhead (EHP) is to create a sustainable future for generations to come, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create high-paying jobs, contribute to a circular economy, and build a greener, smarter world.
EHP was established to facilitate the transition to a greener future by combining technical knowledge with innovative technology and engineering capabilities.
Our initial goal is to build Evolution Hydrogen Peterhead Site 1 in Peterhead, Scotland that will convert 1.2 GW of 24/7 renewable energy into 450 mt/day of renewable hydrogen by 2028, supporting both domestic energy demand and exports, as well as contributing 1.2 GW to the targeted 5 GW of hydrogen capacity in Scotland’s Hydrogen Action Plan (HAP) by 2030. We plan to build a second plant, Evolution Hydrogen Peterhead Site 2, with the same specifications to be online by 2030.
We are accelerating the transition to clean energy, supporting global sustainability goals, and helping to achieve the Scottish and UK Net Zero emissions targets through our hydrogen production facilities, which have virtually zero waste and carbon emissions. We utilize deep-well aquifer water unsuitable for general consumption, and are developing the ability to use seawater with zero brine emissions. Additionally, our projects contribute to the Scottish Hydrogen Action Plan.
Our initial Peterhead projects will provide 800-1000 high paying jobs, driving job creation and economic growth in Scotland. We will employ people from Scotland’s shrinking oil and gas sector, helping to facilitate the transition to clean energy by leveraging the regions skilled labor force. We are committed to investing in workforce development, including green energy training programs for transitioning oil and gas workers.
Our plants will use solid oxide electrolyzers, with proven industry-leading technology and deployed systems already in use.
This technology has a 37.5 kWh/kg efficiency, requiring 15%–25% less electricity than competing PEM and alkaline electrolysis technologies.
Oxygen is diverted during electrolysis, removing it from the hydrogen stream, eliminating the need for deoxygenation units.
Our proprietary ultra-low cost, low-loss water (<1%) filtration technology significantly reduces raw water requirements compared to reverse osmosis methods.
We plan to utilize the publicly available UK offshore wind energy supply, when available. This will be paired with battery storage banks, ensuring zero carbon emissions and 100% availability.
Scotland’s offshore wind capacity factors are between 40-50%. Scotland’s electrical grid lacks the balancing mechanisms necessary to utilize offshore wind at these capacity factors and maintain grid stability. Hydrogen production paired with wind and energy storage will increase utilization of Scotland’s underutilized wind resources and improve energy resiliency.
Our modular design, cutting-edge technology and infrastructure allow us to offer hydrogen at a lower cost and to be more profitable than other hydrogen projects. The modular design allows for site space optimization and phased commissioning.
While the first phase of the project will consist of one 240MW, 90 metric tons per day net hydrogen production block, subsequent phases will be developed in two production block increments, for a total of five production blocks.
