Recognizing the transformative potential of renewable hydrogen, Ireland aims to harness its abundant wind energy resources to produce clean, zero-emission hydrogen that can decarbonize key sectors such as heavy transport, industry, and energy storage.
Ireland's 2023 National Hydrogen Strategy outlines the country's vision for integrating renewable hydrogen into its energy system to support decarbonization, enhance energy security, and create industrial opportunities.
The potential for hydrogen in Ireland is an area of increased interest across the industry. As O'Grady explains: “The focus for offshore wind is, correctly, how it can deliver Ireland's energy security and independence. Beyond that, Ireland's significant and plentiful homegrown renewable energy potential could be used in other ways.
This type of technology has the potential to complement the electrification-led decarbonisation of Ireland while maximising the use of our greatest natural occurring resource, renewable energy. “Hydrogen could be utilised in power stations, heavy goods vehicles, and, in the longer term, aviation and shipping.
