This hydrogen will then be converted into green ammonia, suitable for multiple industrial uses, such as low-emission fertilizer and alternative fuel for shipping. <\/p>\n\n<p>The initiative is supported by <strong>three Statkraft <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/statkraft-suspends-future-green-hydrogen-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wind farms<\/a><\/strong> that are in the pre-construction phase: Mossy Hill, near Lerwick, and Energy Isles and Beaw Field, in Yell. These wind energy sources will power the plant, maximizing the use of locally generated clean electricity. <\/p>\n\n<p>This project will contribute to the industrial decarbonization of the UK, and also plans to generate skilled employment in a region historically linked to energy. Stuart Marley, project manager, cited collaboration with the local community as an essential part of the development. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statkraft.co.uk\/newsroom\/2025\/statkraft-shares-plans-for-green-hydrogen-scheme-in-shetland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starkraft<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This project contemplates a facility with a capacity of up to 400 megawatts, dedicated to converting surplus renewable energy into hydrogen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":285890,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13044],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-285893","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-new-energies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/285893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/285893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=285893"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=285893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
