Recommendation
We recommend that, in order to speed up the planning process and make it more efficient, the Scottish Government should facilitate the necessary knowledge sharing for planning teams in local authorities and private sector organisations. This should focus on the process of obtaining planning consent for hydrogen projects, covering production sites, storage sites and pipelines and the roles different individuals play in determining process and planning outcomes. The Scottish Government should consider the establishment of a dedicated body to deliver this work and implement it as soon as possible in light of the impending 2045 targets. (Paragraph 39) Carbon Capture and storage
Government Response Summary
