Read our work with ClimateXChange as we shape Scotland's hydrogen industry.
The Client's Challenge
ClimateXChange, backed by the Scottish Government, plays a key role in shaping climate policy by commissioning targeted research. Scotland has high ambitions in the hydrogen market, aiming to become one of the major producers and exporters of low-carbon hydrogen derivatives and products.
To build an evidence base for their regional capabilities, they required support to:
- Determine potential hubs of production
- Detail the supply chain
- Consider which specific hubs suit production
- Assess the current domestic and policy landscape
Talan's Solution
Our Low Carbon Molecules team used their extensive background in the energy industry and low-carbon transformation to:
- Develop a multi-criteria scoring framework
- Model demand scenarios
- Develop a co-location optimisation framework
- Deliver an interactive PowerBI tool
Our Impact
Through our report, we supported policymakers in:
- Understand Scotland's capacity
- Identify key strengths and weaknesses
- Align production potential and market demand
- Decide on key policy reforms
- Interact with underlying data
