Hydrogen ideal biofuel

GROWING crops for biomass fermentation in order to produce hydrogen fuel will be studied in a €205,000 joint Wales-Ireland research project, funded by the EU.

According to the Carmarthenshire Energy Agency of Wales, which launched the Wales-Ireland Rural Hydrogen Energy Project (WIRHEP), producing hydrogen from sustainable natural resources has huge potential for rural diversification.

Partners in the project include the University of Glamorgan, the Farmers Union of Wales, and Carmarthenshire County Council in Wales, and Waterford Energy Bureau in Ireland.
