Edward Mountain

Nic, thank you for not pointing out my bad manners for not thanking you for your written submission, as well. I formally thank you for providing a paper.

Sorry, Mark—do you want to come in at this stage, or are you happy for me to go on with my question?

We heard this morning about hydrogen being produced, although probably not at Grangemouth, but then moving production to Grangemouth so that the site is used. Do you all agree with that? Is that how it should go?

Nic, do you want to comment on that? I can see where you probably want it, but it is not where the water is.

Okay. I may need to look at that a bit more. Nic, do you want to comment?

On that basis, we have come to the end of the discussion. We are slightly over time, for which I apologise. Thank you all for coming today and for the two submissions that we had. I also thank Hannah Chalmers and Mercedes Marto-Valer for volunteering to answer the questions when they came up and for doing so with such clarity.

Decision on Taking Business in Private

Meeting date: 13 May 2025

Edward Mountain

Good morning, and welcome to the 17th meeting in 2025 of the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee. Apologies have been received from Monica Lennon. I welcome Sarah Boyack, who is attending as her substitute.

Our first item of business is a decision on taking business in private. Agenda item 6 is consideration of the evidence that we will hear on the hydrogen aspects of the project willow study. Do we agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.

You mentioned Storegga and the fact that it has a planning application in Speyside. I have an interest in a fishery on the River Spey. In case there is any doubt, I have no interest in Storegga, but I mention that so that people know that there is a tenuous connection between Storegga, the Spey and me.
