Plans for a green hydrogen fuel production facility adjacent to a gas-fired power station in Pembrokeshire, Wales, have been approved by the county's planning committee. The green hydrogen, produced through an electrolysis process using electricity from renewable sources, will be utilized in industrial processes and supplied to the Valero Refinery via an underground pipeline corridor following an existing natural gas pipeline route. The project, by Pembroke RWE Generation UK plc, aims to use 'low carbon electricity supplied primarily via grid-connected renewables' for hydrogen production, contributing to decarbonizing the energy sector in Wales. The proposal received support from local councillors, highlighting the potential for job creation and economic investments in the area. The facility is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 90,000 tons annually, equivalent to the impact of removing 18,000 cars from the road. Despite concerns raised about water consumption from the Llys y Fran reservoir for hydrogen production, the project plans to source water from existing power station supplies under an agreement with Welsh Water. Pembrokeshire's initiative to combine green hydrogen production with other sustainable technologies like carbon capture, battery storage, and offshore wind reflects a broader ambition to advance towards net zero emissions. The construction of the facility is projected to take 24 months, with completion estimated by early 2027, signaling a significant step towards a greener and more sustainable energy landscape in the region.
