Hydrogen plant approval advised despite objections

A hydrogen production plant which could create thousands of jobs looks set to get the go-ahead.

Aberdeenshire Council officials are recommending the site west of Kintore is approved, despite a local council committee calling for it to be refused.

There have also been more than 80 objections to the plans.

Statera – who are looking to run the site – said the project was set to stimulate sustainable economic growth and create up to 3,500 jobs.
