4 FAQs about Irish sunshine energy storage project
What's going on with energy storage in Ireland?
An artist's impression of the planned Ballynahone Energy Storage plant in Donegal. The proposed concept will be the first battery storage project of its kind in Europe. Bobby Smith, head of Energy Storage Ireland, highlights a critical need for clear policy and infrastructure development to ensure Ireland meets its renewable energy goals.
Where are Ireland's most exciting energy projects being developed?
One of Ireland's most exciting and important energy projects is quietly being developed at a remote outpost in Donegal, not far from Malin Head.
Can green hydrogen help create a clean & decarbonised Irish economy?
Wind Energy Ireland points out in its report Seizing our Green Hydrogen Opportunity that green hydrogen can be central to creating a clean, decarbonised Irish economy by providing long-term energy storage for the decarbonising electricity market for when the wind is not blowing, and the sun is not shining.
Could phasing of gas to hydrogen support Ireland's future decarbonisation pathway?
The assessment has highlighted one reservoir which can deliver 11TWh of natural gas storage or circa 3TWh of hydrogen storage. As modelled, both storage scenarios including the phasing of gas to hydrogen can support Ireland's current security of supply dilemma as well its future decarbonisation pathway.
