Plans for Ireland's first green hydrogen facility in Cork
Green energy company - EI-H2 - has announced plans for Ireland’s first Green Hydrogen facility to be based in Cork
The new company intends to seek planning permission for an electrolysis plant in Aghada which when operational will remove 63,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually from Irish industry and power generation.
Upon completion, the site will be one of the biggest green energy facilities of its kind in the world.
Over 85 full-time direct and indirect jobs will be created and EI-H2 Aghada hopes to be operational before the end of 2023.
The cost of construction and connection to the electricity grid is expected to be in the region of €120m.
