SH2AMROCK

Country
Ireland

SH2AMROCK will be the first step in realising Ireland’s long-term hydrogen and energy ambitions. The project will deploy Ireland’s first multi-modal hydrogen transport hub to grow domestic confidence, experience, and knowhow to realise decarbonisation in hard-to-abate sectors, enable further cross-border energy collaboration with Northern Ireland, and unlock the island’s long-term energy-exporter position.
