ESB’s Hydrogen Facility Set to Transform Aghada

Electricity Supply Board (ESB) has secured approval for the construction of a hydrogen production facility in Aghada, Co Cork. This initiative marks a pivotal step in the ESB’s broader vision to establish a “hydrogen lighthouse around Ireland.”

The proposed hydrogen production facility, situated on a 0.56-hectare site within the ESB Aghada generation facility, encompasses a range of infrastructure. This includes a megawatt electrolyser, a water purification unit housed in a 40-foot container, and a stack with a height of 7.7m above ground level. The development will also feature transformers, ground units, storage containers, compressors, and various other amenities essential for hydrogen production.

The primary goal of this project is to demonstrate the production of green hydrogen using renewable energy sources. This small-scale generation project is designed to operate for five years, serving as a blueprint for the ESB’s ambitious plans to establish a “hydrogen lighthouse” that showcases Ireland’s commitment to sustainable and innovative energy solutions.

The approval of this hydrogen production facility signifies Ireland’s strategic move towards diversifying its energy sources and reducing dependence on traditional methods. Green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis powered by renewable energy, holds the key to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

In a parallel development, the Chestnut Group’s proposal to demolish a beer garden in Cloughduv for a residential development showcases the evolving landscape of Cork City. The plan includes the construction of nine two-storey houses, two commercial units housing essential services, and a three-bed apartment, reflecting the growing demand for housing and modern amenities in the region.
