The Aberdeen hydrogen bus project has seen 10 hydrogen powered vehicles introduced into the existing Stagecoach and First bus fleets in Aberdeen, and has been operational since March 2015. The project has also delivered a state-of-the-art hydrogen refuelling station built in the centre of Aberdeen, which produces hydrogen on site via electrolysis (the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen). The buses are zero emission vehicles with only water produced at the tailpipe.

Why We Are Consulting

Aberdeen City Council collects this information about you in this form in order to better understand your awareness of Hydrogen technologies and the Aberdeen Hydrogen Bus Project. This information will be stored on the Aberdeen City Council Citizen Space account and we will keep this information for up to 12 months from the date of the survey closing. It will be used to inform project partners and other projects looking to work with hydrogen technology. The Council does not use an automated process for making decisions about you or the services you require.
