Tuesday, 04 May 2021 At the AGM of Hydrogen Ireland on April 23, Board Member, Dr. Rory Monaghan, NUI Galway, argued there is no set government position on hydrogen at present in Ireland and that Hydrogen Ireland has an opportunity to influence this by organizing workshops and seminars. Dr. James Carton, Chair of Hydrogen Ireland
Monaghan said, “We need a signal from government through policy how demand becomes stimulated. We are looking to stimulate the supply and demand at the same time in Ireland.
“Hydrogen Ireland understand the value proposition of hydrogen and we want to promote the role of hydrogen and related technologies. We can work with politicians, stakeholders and indeed communities to achieve this.”
Hydrogen Ireland calls for a hydrogen led future
rd of April.
The call has been led by board member, Dr. Rory Monaghan, NUI Galway, arguing that there is currently no set government position on hydrogen at present in Ireland and that Hydrogen Ireland has a unique opportunity to influence this.
Dr. Monaghan has been researching hydrogen and fuel cells since 2003 and currently leads the Long-Term Effects work package of the €9.3m ($11.8m) GenComm project, which is funded by the EU Interreg North West Europe programme.
The Department of the Economy also commissioned Monaghan to prepare the Think Piece on hydrogen opportunities for Northern Ireland.
Sunday, 25 April 2021 The third webinar in the GenComm spring series, scheduled for April 29, is called ‘Hydrogen Opportunities emanating from Energy Transition’. This latest webinar will include two speakers Dr. Rory Monaghan, NUIG and Dr. James Carton, DCU, who were authors of the recent, ‘Hydrogen Exploring opportunities in the Northern Ireland Energy Transition’ 44 page document that was funded by the Northern Ireland Department for the Economy.
This report contributed to the evidence base for the development of a new energy strategy for Northern Ireland. Thomas Byrne, Director of the Energy Strategy at the Department for the Economy will also speak at this webinar.

Thursday, 01 April 2021 GenComm project partners, National University of Ireland Galway (NUI Galway), Dublin City University and HyEnergy, have published a new report into the opportunities presented by hydrogen in Northern Ireland s green energy transition.
The report was funded by Northern Ireland’s Department for the Economy to contribute to the evidence base for the development of a new Energy Strategy.
The report reviews progress Northern Ireland is making towards its decarbonization goals, its unique challenges, and opportunities, and identifies the potential roles for hydrogen in enabling greater renewable energy deployment, through energy storage and reduced curtailment and sector coupling. It then identifies energy demand sectors that hydrogen could help in decarbonizing, such as buses, trains, and its use in the gas grid for heating. The research team presents the results of case studies for green hydrogen, hydrogen produced by electrolysis powered by renewable ele
