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.
