Green Hydrogen Fuel Production Facility Gets Approval in Pembrokeshire

Strategic Insights -

A 15MW green hydrogen fuel production facility has been given the green light by Pembrokeshire County Council, marking a significant step towards decarbonizing the transportation and construction industries. The facility, proposed by green energy specialists Haush Ltd, will use renewable electricity to produce green hydrogen through an electrolysing process. This innovative solution aims to reduce carbon emissions and aligns with the ambition for Pembroke Dock Marine to transition to a world-class center for marine energy and engineering.

Key Takeaways:

  • The proposed facility will produce 15MW of green hydrogen fuel, using renewable electricity from the national grid.
  • The site will have up to six HGV movements per day, with each taking approximately five hours to fill to capacity.
  • The facility will utilize rigorous safety measures, including no fixed onsite storage of hydrogen, and will transport hydrogen offsite using operated tube-trailers.
  • Haush Ltd's vision is to address the challenge of decarbonizing the transportation and construction industries through the production of green hydrogen.
  • The facility will support the aspiration and vision for Pembroke Dock Marine to transition to a low-carbon energy sector.

Statistics:

  • 15MW: The proposed capacity of the green hydrogen fuel production facility.
  • 6: The number of HGV movements to and from the site per day.
  • 5 hours: The time it takes to fill each HGV to capacity.
  • 11kV: The voltage of the substation supplied by renewable electricity via the national grid.
