In this episode of Wicked Energy with JG, host Justin Gauthier is joined by special guest David Amos, who led the development of the growth deal for Orkney, Shetland, and the Western Isles in Scotland. These island areas have incredible renewable energy potential, with about 30% to 40% of Europe's accessible renewable energy potential. The focus of the growth deal was to capitalize on this potential to support job creation, economic growth, and decarbonization.

The conversation delves into the ongoing work in Scotland to repurpose natural gas pipelines for the transportation of hydrogen and the UK's exploration of blending hydrogen into the gas network. It also explores the viability of using existing infrastructure for the transport of hydrogen, such as converting it into ammonia or methanol. The episode highlights the importance of low-cost hydrogen production, with a focus on green hydrogen produced through electrolysis using renewable energy sources.

Exciting developments related to converting biowaste to energy, hydrogen, and graphene are also discussed. This includes a company testing a technology to split hydrogen from natural gas and create graphene through microwave plasma. The episode emphasizes the need to appreciate and leverage alternative energy sources and molecules.

The guest also shares their company's innovative hydrogen technology, which provides a carbon-free alternative to diesel generators used in events and venues. They have powered high-profile events such as the Edinburgh International Arts Festival, Cop 26 in Glasgow, and the World Cycling Championships, showcasing the potential of hydrogen as a power source.

Additionally, the episode explores the potential for utilizing abundant renewable energy on islands instead of exporting it, particularly focusing on the Western Isles and the transformative opportunities it presents for the community. Don't miss this engaging conversation that delves into the world of renewable energy, hydrogen production, and the future of sustainable power solutions.
