A new so-called green energy facility planned for Bantry Bay will be among the biggest of its kind in the world if it gets the go-ahead, its developers have said.
Fresh from announcing the country's first green hydrogen facility at an estimated investment of €120m in Aghada in East Cork last month — and also among the world's largest — Cork firm EI-H2 has now joined with the Irish arm of Texan-headquartered energy firm Zenith Energy in a bid to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia in West Cork.
