About Us
Overview
Green Cat Hydrogen was founded in 2022 to design, build, and operate green hydrogen production facilities. We are a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, combining cutting-edge innovation with decades of experience of both the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition.
As part of the Green Cat group, we have expertise covering design, consultancy, planning and contracting of large infrastructure projects. From our offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Calgary, we focus on taking action and developing the hydrogen economy through sensible, considered projects.
Our Mission
To enable the expansion of new clean energy production and maximise the use of low-carbon energy. We will achieve this by integrating green hydrogen production with clean energy sources, while supporting carbon-intensive industries in their transition to net zero.
We believe green hydrogen is part of the solution to decarbonise a range of industries. We offer tailored solutions in sectors and areas where electrification is difficult. Drawing on the wider Green Cat Group, we are proud of our cross-technology approach to any challenge, meaning we won’t unduly focus on hydrogen if there is a more practical option.
We work closely with a range of clients to deliver an appropriate decarbonisation solution that works for them and delivers lasting emissions reductions.
We currently have four projects located throughout Scotland with further projects in development across the UK.
Taking a long-term view, Green Cat Hydrogen plans, develops and maintains green hydrogen projects through their full life cycles.
Feasibility & Planning
The initial phase of our projects consists of a range of activities to assess the feasibility of the project, including the assessment of local demand, environmental constraints, water resources, and the availability of renewable energy. Other activities include securing planning permissions and beginning engagement with stakeholders.
Development & Design
During the second phase, our team of engineers further progress the project with the development of detailed technical engineering designs to ensure a safe facility that meets the requirements of our customers.
Construction, Installation & Commissioning
The Construction and Commissioning stage sees the facility transition from technical design into reality. Our team will continue to take ownership of the project throughout construction and installation of equipment, ensuring that the facility meets all safety, regulatory and quality standards.
Operations & Maintenance
Green Cat Hydrogen will continue to manage the facility whilst operational. Our team will manage distribution to our customers, monitor performance and ensure the facility runs smoothly, efficiently and safely.
Optimisation
We continuously reflect on our process, seeking to identify areas for improvement and opportunities for innovation. This proactive approach ensures that our process evolves with each project, enabling us to continually improve project outcomes. Throughout operation, our team will seek to optimise facility efficiency and work to ensure the project continues to benefit the wider energy system.
Green Cat Group
We are the newest member of the Green Cat Group, comprising five companies across the green energy sector, employing over 160 people in Scotland and Canada. Working alongside the group, we combine cross-industry expertise accumulated over our group’s 20-year history to design, deliver, and operate solutions that work for our clients.
Our multi-disciplinary team offers wide ranging expertise and allows for self-delivery and reduced risk.
