Bord na Móna, Ireland's semi-state climate solutions company, has selected Arup as Owners Engineer for a pioneering project involving the development of a 2MW pilot scale hydrogen electrolysis plant at Mountlucas Wind Farm in County Offaly. The plant will utilize power from the wind farm to produce green hydrogen, with a target output of more than 200,000kg annually. This initiative, in line with Ireland's National Hydrogen Strategy, signifies a significant step towards the country's energy transition and enhanced energy security. Arup's role as Owners Engineer includes overseeing project management, procurement, and contract management to ensure the facility's safe, timely, and budget-compliant delivery. The green hydrogen generated is set to play a vital role in decarbonizing various energy-consuming sectors in Ireland, particularly transportation, with the potential to displace a substantial amount of diesel consumption. Marie Murphy, an Associate at Arup, expressed the company's honor in contributing to Ireland's green hydrogen industry and renewable energy landscape. This project is expected to be a cornerstone in achieving Ireland's ambitious target of 2GW of green hydrogen energy by 2030.
