Decarbonising the transport sector has begun with the adoption of battery electric vehicles, and they will take us a long way to full decarbonisation. But commercial users tell us there are use cases where battery vehicles will not be appropriate for them. We outline policy actions that can enable hydrogen for mobility and begin to develop the wider hydrogen ecosystem in Ireland.

Energy is the beginning of everything, the basis of civilizational development and the foundation of all economic progress. To make it future proof, we need a balance of affordability, reliability, and sustainability. This includes a phase-out of coal, the expansion of renewables, the further development of H₂-capable gas power plants and grid stability services, as well as storage solutions that step in when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining. Together, these steps and technologies can ensureenergy security and make a decarbonized energy system possible.
