The 2021 Hydrogen Conference recently took place online. Hydrogen is quickly becoming a part of many countries’ decarbonisation strategy. It offers Ireland the opportunity to decarbonise both the transport and heating sectors, which have been difficult to decarbonise to date. Green hydrogen produced from wind energy additionally offers Ireland the opportunity to further exploit its abundant wind resources.
Delegates in attendance heard from a number of speakers, both local and visiting, including Rory Monaghan, NUI Galway; Orla Martin, Offaly County Council; Liam Nolan, Gas Networks Ireland; Nancy Reck, German Embassy Dublin and Paul McCormack, Hydrogen Ireland. Key issues discussed included the role of hydrogen in Ireland’s future energy mix; production, transportation and storage of hydrogen and potential hydrogen exports to Germany.
