Investment In Energy Projects

Transport and heating needs in Levenmouth are to be improved.

The Scottish Government has announced that £4 million is to be handed over to Bright Green Hydrogen from its Local Energy Challenge Fund.

It's one of five projects across Scotland to share in more than £20 million.

Scottish Energy Minister Fergus Ewing said: "The Scottish Government is defining a distinctive approach to Scotland's future energy provision; putting communities at the heart of decisions about their local energy system; and empowering them to take an economic stake in new developments. 

"These projects are a huge step towards defining a distinctive approach to Scotland’s future energy provision. They will provide vital learning across extremely challenging areas, such as adding value to local economies, matching local supply and demand, and addressing fuel poverty. 

"But we know this is just the beginning, and we want to support more innovations like these. This is why the Scottish Government will run a second Challenge Fund, subject to the next spending round, making up to £500,000 will be available in 2015/2016."
