Waste plant set to become green fuel factory for islands


A £10 MILLION waste management plant is set to be turned into a factory to produce hydrogen as a green fuel for homes, vehicles and industry in the Western Isles under plans expected to be approved today.

The move would see the islands become the world's first large-scale producer of hydrogen derived from organic gas.

The plant in Stornoway was designed to create electricity, but could not get a national grid connection to transmit the energy.
