Peel NRE plans to develop waste plastic-to-hydrogen facility at the Rothesay Dock
Peel NRE, part of Peel L&P, is planning to develop its second waste plastic to hydrogen facility at Rothesay Dock on the north bank of the River Clyde, West Dunbartonshire. The 13,500-tonne facility will be the second in the UK to use pioneering technology developed by Powerhouse Energy Group plc, after plans for a similar facility at Peel NRE’s Protos site in Cheshire were approved in 2019.
The GBP20 million (US$27.8 million) facility will take non-recyclable plastics, destined for landfill, incineration or export overseas, and use them to create a local source of sustainable hydrogen. The hydrogen will be used as a clean fuel for buses, cars and HGVs, with plans for a linked hydrogen refueling station on the site.
In the coming months, Peel NRE will be consulting with the local community and stakeholders around the North Clyde site, ahead of submitting a planning application to West Dunbartonshire Council later this year.
