About the session

Plenary Case Study – The Orion Clean Energy Project: Transforming Shetland into a Entirely Secure and Affordable Renewable Energy Island

Auditorium B&C

Gunther Newcombe OBE, Energy Hub Project Coordinator. ORION Energy Hub Plenary

The vision of the ORION Project is to transform Shetland into a renewable clean energy hub with the export of green hydrogen at industrial scale, providing clean affordable energy to local consumers and helping the oil & gas sector decarbonize. This vision is now becoming a reality with onshore wind providing clean energy onshore and both on and offshore wind being evaluated to provide the energy to produce green hydrogen and hydrogen derivative fuels on Shetland for local use and export. This plenary case study sets out the journey ORION has taken, the achievements to date and plans for the future which will provide valuable insights for other large scale renewable energy projects
