IGas plans produce grey hydrogen at Albury & Bletchingley

IGas have applied to Surrey County Council for planning permission to produce high carbon, ‘grey’ hydrogen at their sites in Albury and Bletchingley.

Their applications are highly misleading as they concentrate on the low emissions from hydrogen at the point of use and completely downplay the enormous amount of emissions that will result from the production of hydrogen at this site, if their permit is granted.

The Weald Action Group has produced some useful briefings on why hydrogen is not the green panacea IGas would have us believe:

Albury

The Planning Technical Support Team for the Albury permit have said they are still accepting comments on the application right up until it is decided. They indicate that this will not be for a couple of months.
