Focusing on maintaining gas quality, exploring hydrogen certification for international trade, and establishing hydrogen valleys along the network. These efforts aim to propel Ireland towards a sustainable energy future through innovation and collaboration.

Blending hydrogen into existing natural gas networks offers a cost-effective transportation solution, though uncertainties about blend tolerances and safety concerns remain. GNI and UCD are collaborating to test hydrogen integration into the Irish gas network, focusing on safety, stability, and performance.

Excess renewable energy can produce green hydrogen, which can be stored for later use. This project explores green hydrogen production in Ireland, modeling future supply and demand scenarios to assess economic and environmental impacts.

Examining the long-term potential of hydrogen technologies for production, storage, transportation, and utilization, aiming to support investment decisions and develop strategies for integrating green hydrogen into energy systems for decarbonization
