Pembrokeshire Dockyard to Host 15MW Green Hydrogen Fuel Production Facility
Key Ideas
- Haush Ltd has submitted plans for a 15MW green hydrogen production facility in Pembroke Dockyard, aiming to decarbonize transportation and construction industries.
- The facility will use renewable electricity from the national grid to produce green hydrogen through an electrolysis process, aligning with the vision for Pembroke Dock Marine as a low carbon energy hub.
- Safety measures include no fixed onsite storage of hydrogen, with production on-demand and immediate transport offsite using tube-trailers, minimizing safety risks.
- The application, supported by Locogen Consulting Ltd, emphasizes the potential of green hydrogen to significantly reduce carbon emissions and fulfill the need for clean energy across the UK.
A 15MW green hydrogen fuel production facility project has been proposed at Pembroke Dockyard in Pembrokeshire, United Kingdom. The application by Haush Ltd includes plans for electrolysers, compressors, and associated infrastructure to produce green hydrogen using renewable electricity. The project is aimed at addressing the challenges of decarbonizing transportation and construction industries by partnering with communities to produce clean and renewable energy. The site's location at Pembroke Dockyard aligns with the goal of transitioning it into a leading centre for marine energy and engineering focusing on low carbon energy. The project involves up to six HGV movements per day, each taking approximately five hours, with no fixed onsite storage of hydrogen for safety reasons. Instead, hydrogen will be produced on-demand and transported offsite immediately using owned tube-trailers. The proposal emphasizes the importance of green hydrogen in reducing carbon emissions and meeting the clean energy demands of various sectors across the UK. The application is set to be reviewed by Pembrokeshire County Council at a later date.
