Read about the potential production of hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen by Pure Energy on the island of Unst. If the community can produce sufficient quantities, it can only be shipped / piped / pumped one way and that's southwards. Shetland News has the story.

European Marine Energy Centre (Orkney) has just received £1.35million grant to develop a similar project in partnership with Eday Community Windturbine. They will link with EMEC's tidal generator in a project called Surf n' Turf. Hydrogen gas will then fuel Orkney ferries on the piers overnight. May also make fertilizer. Richard Clubley.
