Presumably UK can be involved in projects lkkd this fir shipbuilding

I'm happy to see H&W managing the labour cost to match the work profile. At this point seems very sensible.

Islandmagee salt caverns identified as nationally and internationally significant from podcast. Given this there may be potential to access EU funding to support energy transition as well as UK gov funding.

I think this is the direct link to the podcast - strong NI focus

I really like this recent podcast which for me nicely explains the potential important role for Islandmagee and how it could fit into a hydrogen economy in NI. I think it's a great listen from start to finish :).

KPMG Report extract 2021

2.3 Storage
Hydrogen production capacity will need to be supplemented by hydrogen storage,
depending on the uses to which the gas is put:
..............

Seasonal storage
To manage seasonal swings in heating and electricity demand, salt caverns offer a promising option. Northern Ireland may have strong potential in this area at
Islandmagee near Larne. This site is capable of storing approximately 1,173 GWh,
and of delivering 61GWh/day of hydrogen (DfE’s data suggest only 570 GWh of hydrogen demand being supplied from storage in 2050 in the Diverse scenario,
well below Larne’s capacity)

“Low-carbon hydrogen is a critical enabler of UK energy security and the transition to net zero emissions,” she said.

“We expect our vision of 10GW hydrogen production capacity by 2030 to support 12,000 jobs and £9 billion in private investment.

Hydrogen NI, the industry group that represents the voice of the clean hydrogen sector in Northern Ireland, has welcomed senior leaders from across industry, government and the public sector who have a shared interest in delivering a successful, clean hydrogen economy in Northern Ireland

“It has been a pleasure to take part in this event and hear about the action and enthusiasm for a hydrogen economy in Northern Ireland.”

Gary Borland, KPMG and the event sponsor, stated: “KPMG is delighted to support Hydrogen NI.

“Northern Ireland is ideally suited to develop a thriving hydrogen economy with its high levels of wind energy, a modern hydrogen-compatible gas network, natural storage facilities and a world-leading engineering sector."

I presume Islandmagee is the natural storage facility referenced by KPMG
