C2N - Green Hydrogen

Hydrogen in rural communities - the next green opportunity!

C2Network is working towards a green hydrogen roadmap for Scottish agriculture and the rural communities within which our co-ops and their farming members are based.

Collaborative working of our co-ops with stakeholders, engineering and technology partners, and the research base is driving our collective agenda.

Members of the C2Network found out more about the possibilities on a farm visit. You can too by watching the C2N Green Hydrogen video
