Gas Networks Ireland, in collaboration with Amber, embarks on a groundbreaking project to evaluate Ireland’s gas infrastructure for green hydrogen integration.
The primary objective of the project is to assess the compatibility of Ireland’s existing gas network with green hydrogen, a clean and renewable energy source. By understanding the feasibility of incorporating green hydrogen into the gas infrastructure, the initiative aims to pave the way for a smooth transition towards a low-carbon energy system in Ireland.
Green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources, offers a promising solution for reducing carbon emissions in various sectors, including transportation, industry, and residential heating. The project will leverage advanced materials science and engineering research conducted by Amber to evaluate the integrity and compatibility of gas pipeline materials with green hydrogen.
By diversifying the energy mix and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, Ireland can enhance energy security, promote sustainable development, and foster innovation in the renewable energy sector.
