Ryse Hydrogen is owned by Jo Bamford, who also owns Wrightbus – creators of the world’s first hydrogen double deckers, the first of which were launched onto the streets of Aberdeen in October 2020.

Jo Bamford says, “There is now the inspirational prospect of Scottish-made hydrogen being used to transport COP26 delegates around Glasgow. This would be an ideal demonstration to the world that Scotland is perfectly placed to be a world-leader in hydrogen production because of its abundance of wind and water, which are the two ingredients you need to make hydrogen.”

He continued, “It’s an exciting prospect to know that UK-built hydrogen double-decker Wrightbus buses will soon be travelling on the streets of Scotland, emitting only water vapour from Scottish hydrogen fuel that has been produced by harnessing the county’s own natural elements.”

Regarding HY2GO, Jo Bamford added, “Our relationship with Hy2Go will prove pivotal not only to Glasgow if it is to hit its ambition of becoming the first net-zero UK city by 2030, but will also be vital to the wider Scottish economic recovery.”

He concluded, “We’re confident the Hy2Go production plant will help lead Scotland’s emerging hydrogen economy, creating jobs and investment opportunities now and in the future. This scheme is a clear indicator that private businesses are ready and willing to invest in hydrogen to create jobs and to benefit the environment.

“The Scottish Government has already shown strong leadership on hydrogen, and we hope to play a valuable role in supporting ministers to deliver their hydrogen action plan.”
