Project:

Holyhead Hydrogen Hub

Overview:

This project will establish a green hydrogen production and distribution facility, at Parc Cybi, Holyhead within the Anglesey Freeport zone, supplying road, maritime and rail transport customers across North Wales.

The hub will increase hydrogen energy security, reducing the dependence on imports and driving down carbon emissions, particularly in the transportation sector. The project will play a key role in the development of a regional hydrogen economy, stimulating the commercialisation and adoption of hydrogen as a fuel, attracting inward investment, and creating long term high value jobs.

Ambition North Wales is working with lead sponsor Menter Môn Cyf to develop this project.
