Research Projects

Oct 21, 2024

We are committed to engaging in research which will improve communities energy sustainability. Some of the projects that we are participating in include:

Energy Co-operatives Ireland Ltd are partners in the Sh2amrock which will deploy green hydrogen across key hard-to-abate sectors across the island of Ireland

The project will also establish essential infrastructure for hydrogen’s production, distribution, and use. This five-year project, with an estimated investment of around €80 million, will demonstrate how hydrogen can enhance the integration of renewable energy sources (RES) through sector coupling and support the widespread adoption of renewable hydrogen in Ireland’s energy system.

Green Hysland (Associate Partner)

GREEN HYSLAND aims to deploy a fully-functioning Hydrogen (H2) ecosystemin the island of Mallorca, Spain, to provide Europe with a blueprint for decarbonization of island economies, and an operational example of the contribution of H2 towards the energy transition and the 2050 net zero targets.

SEAFUEL: Hydrogen in Island Transport (Partner)

GENCOMM: Generating energy secure Communities through smart Renewable Hydrogen (Associate Partner)

HUGE (Associate Partner)

Raising awareness of the use of green hydrogen as a viable energy vector for remote and rural communities in housing, transport, and industry.

IDEAS: Novel building integration designs for increased efficiencies in advanced climatically tunable renewable energy systems (Partner)

Valentia Island H2 Feasibility Study: commissioned by Valentia Island Development Company with the support of South Kerry Development Partnership CLG to investigate the feasibility of community owned hydrogen energy (H2) opportunities in Valentia Island.

Rathlin Sustainable Island Network: commissioned by Rathlin Sustainable Island Network, with the support of Invest Northern Ireland to carry out a comprehensive Scoping Study which will map out the potential future of sustainability and renewable energy on Rathlin.
