Imagine a giant battery that uses water and wind power to create a clean gas. This gas is then trucked to a hub where it fuels everything from city buses to airplanes. It's like building a new, clean plumbing system for energy that replaces dirty fuels in factories and heavy trucks.
Heavy transport and high-heat industrial processes cannot easily switch to electricity. This creates a gap in meeting decarbonization targets for logistics and construction sectors.
A complete hydrogen value chain including a 4MW production plant, a transport pipeline via tube trailers, a refuelling station, and a fleet of H2-powered vehicles.
If you are a logistics company dealing with high carbon emissions from heavy trucks — this project developed a hydrogen refuelling station and 5 logistics trucks that allow for zero-emission long-haul transport.
If you are a city transport provider dealing with urban pollution — this project deployed 3 double deck buses and 10 intercity coaches powered by green hydrogen to decarbonize public transit.
If you are a construction materials plant dealing with high-temperature heat demands that are hard to electrify — this project developed a way to use hydrogen to decarbonize bitumen production in Oranmore.
The total investment is approximately €80m, with €54 million mentioned as the project value and €7.5 million awarded from the Clean Hydrogen Partnership.
The project deploys up to 4 MW electrolyser capacity, producing at least 500 tonnes of green hydrogen annually.
Based on available project data, there are no specific details regarding patents or licensing terms provided in the summary.
The project commenced in 2024 and is scheduled to run for 5 years, ending on 2028-12-31.
It uses a 'virtual pipeline' consisting of high-pressure storage and three tube trailers to move hydrogen from Mount Lucas wind farm to Galway Port.
The project features a strong industrial base with 13 industry partners (43% ratio), including 8 SMEs. The collaboration is geographically diverse, spanning 13 countries, which suggests the project is designed for international scalability and knowledge transfer rather than just a local pilot.
