RWE's Pembroke Green Hydrogen Plant: Pioneering Sustainable Growth in Wales
Key Ideas
  • RWE's Pembroke Green Hydrogen Plant has received full planning approval, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 93,000 tonnes annually, equivalent to removing 18,600 cars from the road each year.
  • The project is set to become Wales' first major green hydrogen facility, with a 100MWe electrolyser strategically located on RWE land adjacent to Pembroke Power Station, enabling the production of green hydrogen.
  • This development is seen as a significant step towards the UK Government's target of achieving 10GW of green hydrogen capacity by 2030, offering a vital solution to industrial processes that are currently reliant on fossil fuels.
  • RWE's vision for the Pembroke Net Zero Centre not only aims to uphold Pembrokeshire's energy heritage and protect existing jobs but also promises substantial local economic investments and job creation opportunities during both construction and operation phases.
RWE has successfully secured planning approval for its Green Hydrogen Plant in Pembroke, UK, signaling a major leap towards sustainable growth and decarbonization. The project, once operational, is expected to mitigate approximately 93,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, a feat akin to removing 18,600 cars from the roads each year. Positioned as Wales' prospective first major green hydrogen facility, the plant will house a 100MWe electrolyser strategically located near the Pembroke Power Station, with plans for a direct pipeline connection to nearby industries. This approval has been lauded as a significant boost for Wales by MP Henry Tufnell. Sopna Sury, RWE's Chief Operating Officer for Hydrogen, expressed delight over this milestone, emphasizing the importance of green hydrogen in decarbonizing industrial processes that cannot be electrified. RWE's involvement in the South Wales Industrial Cluster has been instrumental in securing development funding and outlining a clear path for project advancement. The company's Pembroke Net Zero Centre vision aims not only to preserve local energy jobs but also to inject fresh economic investments into Pembrokeshire, fostering job creation opportunities throughout the project's lifecycle.
