RWE unveiled plans to develop a large-scale green hydrogen project in Grangemouth, Scotland. Once operational, the initial capacity is anticipated to be up to 200 MWe with future expansion potential targeting 600 MWe. The green hydrogen project is expected to produce up to 3.6 metric tons of hydrogen per hour.This initiative is in line with RWE’s commitment to driving forward the hydrogen economy and contributing to Scotland's decarbonisation goals. 

RWE's Pembroke Green Hydrogen project 

The project is expected to be operational by 2029. It will be constructed on a land within the Grangemouth industrial complex, adjacent to the INspec Ethylene Oxide and Specialities (INEOS) facility. Furthermore, RWE will supply the first hydrogen produced to INEOS Grangemouth, assisting them in significantly reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.

This project will reduce INEOS’s carbon emissions and offer other industrial users the chance to transition to green hydrogen, positioning Grangemouth at the heart of decarbonisation in Scotland. This project will support INEOS Grangemouth's commitment to have net zero carbon emissions by 2045.

RWE has completed concept, feasibility and pre-front-end engineering design (FEED) studies. A grid connection has been secured, and the company is shortlisting electrolyser suppliers. The next steps will be progressing towards a planning application, which will include local consultation on the project.

RWE and INEOS share a common vision for shaping the future hydrogen economy in Grangemouth and Scotland. Working together on this reflects the joint commitment to driving innovation, fostering sustainability, and supporting Scotland's broader net zero targets to deliver a greener future, safeguard jobs and decarbonise key industrial sectors.

Additionally, RWE has approximately 480 MW of installed renewable projects across Scotland. With further expansions underway, including 100 MW of onshore wind in construction, RWE remains committed to driving the transition to renewable energy and advancing hydrogen development initiatives across the country.

RWE’s Renewable Energy Projects in Scotland

RWE has been a natural partner for Scotland for over 20 years. It owns or operates around 480 megawatts (MW) of installed renewable projects in Scotland across 27 sites. This includes 15 hydropower projects, 10 onshore wind farms, one offshore wind farm, and a 55 MW biomass combined heat and power plant in Fife.

RWE’s portfolio in Scotland is diverse. The Robin Rigg in the Solway Firth is Scotland’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farm. 

One of RWE’s significant contributions to Scotland’s renewable energy landscape is the Markinch Biomass Combined Heat & Power district heating plant. This plant provides heat to the Glenrothes Energy Network, a renewable district heating network.

Robin Rigg Offshore Windfarm

Project Capacity: 174 MW

Number of Turbines: 58

Robin Rigg East and Robin Rigg West (together known as Robin Rigg) were the first commercial offshore wind farms in Scottish waters . Located on a sandbank in the Solway Firth, midway between the Galloway and Cumbrian coasts, and with an operations base in Port of Workington, these wind farms began full generation in April 2010.

The project provides enough electricity to power approximately 137,000 homes and offset around 230,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. For further details about upcoming offshore wind farms in the UK, explore our detailed database.
