Translink have signed a contract with GenComm partner Energia for the supply of renewably sourced hydrogen from an on shore Co Antrim windfarm and a contract with Wrightbus who will supply three new sustainable fuel cell electric double decker buses powered by Hydrogen. The launch event on January 29, 2020 was attended by the Chair of Hydrogen Ireland, Dr James Carton and by Hydrogen Ireland board members, Mark Welsh, Neil Morrow, Paul McCormack and Ian Williamson. Hydrogen Ireland board member and Energia Group Energy Services Manager Mark Welsh welcomed the news saying: “We are delighted to partner with Translink on this renewable hydrogen project which brings together both public and private sector investment and innovation. The project will also be an important enabler for the development of the skills and capabilities of local companies, such as Wrightbus, so that export opportunities in the global hydrogen economy can be realised.”
