Ireland 4.0: Green Hydrogen's role in our energy security

Paul McCormack of Hydrogen Ireland and James Carton of Dublin City University share their views on Ireland's Green Hydrogen sector with Jillian Godsil

Renewable energy investors are interested in a tender currently being developed for two HGV hydrogen fuelling stations, one in Dublin and one in Belfast — an all-island opportunity, one that finally reflects the shared nature of Ireland’s energy infrastructure.

Oil is just too damn good. It does everything we want. It powers our cars and buses, turns into plastics and polyester, and flows freely. That, says Paul McCormack, is the problem. It’s also the opportunity.

Paul McCormack gave up his job last year to lead Hydrogen Ireland full-time. Not for the money, but for the mission.
