Government to kickstart 'green hydrogen' national strategy

Junior minister at the Department of Environment Ossian Smyth said: 'I expect a strategy focusing on development of green hydrogen to be included in the Climate Action Plan 2022'.

The Government will kickstart a so-called 'green hydrogen' national strategy before July, after a major report said Ireland was lagging behind other countries, despite enormous potential.

Junior minister at the Department of Environment, Ossian Smyth, said a public consultation on a green hydrogen strategy will be launched in the first half of the year, after first examining where the burgeoning form of renewable energy will be needed most.
