Hydrogen Ireland have welcomed a new white paper from Hydrogen Mobility Ireland. According to HMI, an investment of a proportional size for Ireland would cover hydrogen fuel cells.
HMI’s whitepaper stated that an investment into H2 proportional to the size of Ireland and the commuter population there would put 6,000 H2-powered vehicles on its roads by the end of the decade.
“I am pleased to be joined by Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan to mark the launch of HMI’s White Paper and policy paper on the benefits of hydrogen,” said Jonathan Hogan, HMI business manager. “HMI’s policy papers show that the production of green hydrogen at scale will facilitate Ireland in reducing its carbon emissions across transport and other industries, while creating significant opportunities for regional employment and boosting the green economy. In the context of ambitious sustainability targets outlined in both the Climate Action Plan 2021, and the EU’s Fit-for-55 package, and in light of geopolitical considerations, the need to diversify and secure Ireland’s energy supply has never been more apparent.”
“Moving to cleaner and greener technologies is critical if we are to reduce the carbon footprint of our public transport system, and examining all available technologies is essential,” added Eamon Ryan, Transport and Environment Minister, when discussing the potential for hydrogen fuel cells in Ireland.
