Project description
Enabling green hydrogen penetration into Ireland’s energy sector
Green hydrogen is increasingly recognised as a vital green energy source across various sectors. With this in mind, the EU-funded SH2AMROCK project will introduce green hydrogen into several challenging-to-decarbonise sectors across Ireland. The project will establish Ireland’s first hydrogen valley and a multi-modal hydrogen transport hub in Galway. It will develop essential infrastructure for green hydrogen production, distribution and use. The primary goal is to demonstrate hydrogen’s potential to increase the penetration of renewable energy sources through sector coupling, while facilitating the widespread integration of renewable hydrogen into Ireland’s energy system. SH2AMROCK will expedite Ireland’s energy transition and decarbonisation efforts across various end-user applications.
Objective
SH2AMROCK - Ireland's Emerald Hydrogen Valley
SH2AMROCK will deploy green hydrogen across key hard-to-abate sectors across the island of Ireland – including key infrastructure to enable the production, distribution, and use of green hydrogen. The 5 year-project, with a total investment of approximately €80m, will showcase the capacity of H2 to maximise penetration of RES through sector coupling, while facilitating widespread integration of renewable H2 into Ireland’s energy system. SH2AMROCK will realise this goal through the deployment of the country’s first hydrogen valley and multi-modal H2 transport hub in Galway – accelerating the island of Ireland’s energy transition and decarbonisation across multiple end-user applications.
