From this presentation, ESB expert highlights the key role hydrogen will play for Republic of Ireland. Watch from 16:30 onwards.

Islandmagee should be very well placed to support an all island energy solution and potential buyers probably know this very well. DYOR.

Good news 👏

An interesting list of speakers/investors interested in hydrogen world ( and so some may have an interest in Islandmagee partnership for development )

On Partnership with Echandia

The personal statement from the Councillor is interesting ..

Https://www.scilly.gov.uk/news/update-council-sea-links-project-15-september-2023

On 13 September 2023, the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group wrote to island residents to confirm that the company cannot support the Council’s latest Levelling Up Fund business case which was submitted to government on 3 September 2023. The Steamship Group also reiterated its intention to privately fund the replacement of its vessels.

This announcement comes as a major disappointment and follows many weeks of hard work and negotiation to develop a revised business case which would have seen the cost of the new vessels required being funded by government as part of its Levelling Up programme.

We are in urgent discussions with government regarding the announcement from the Steamship Group and the implications of this for Levelling Up funding awarded to the Council. We will update the community when further information becomes available.

Interesting 4pm start re RNS timing, if there was one..

Chevron wants to develop "a large-scale, hydrogen platform that provides affordable, reliable, ever-cleaner energy,” said Austin Knight, vice president of hydrogen, Chevron New Energies.

Maybe Joe Kennedy III could interest US investors like Chevron in a stake in Islandmagee storage facility..

Oman's participation in discussions surrounding underground energy storage, particularly in the context of hydrogen and ammonia, underscores its commitment to innovation and sustainability in the energy sector. As the global demand for clean energy solutions continues to rise, Oman is positioning itself as a hub for cutting-edge research and development in this field.

Partial extract / Nice photo in article

US Special Envoy Joe Kennedy III has toured Belfast factories and met business leaders as part of his third official trip to Northern Ireland.

Mr Kennedy, who was appointed as the US Special Envoy to Northern Ireland for Economic Affairs last year, travelled to Northern Ireland earlier this week ahead of the NI Investment Summit.

As well as attending the event, Mr Kennedy also toured the facilities of two Belfast businesses.

Kicking off his trip, the US Special Envoy received a tour of Harland and Wolff shipyard where he met with Harland and Wolff chief executive, John Wood.

In a post on X, Mr Kennedy said he was delighted to start his visit at Belfast’s shipyard and welcomed the opportunity to Harland and Wolff to discuss “its cutting edge work in advanced manufacturing as well as its recent contracts”.

In 2022 the shipbuilding and fabrication company announced it had secured a £1.6bn deal to build vessels for the Royal Navy.

Mr Wood said: “It was my great pleasure to show our Belfast site to Mr Kennedy , highlighting the work undertaken here and the positive impact we are having on the local community and across Northern Ireland”.

He added: “The Investment Summit represents the perfect opportunity to emphasise the investment that we are making in Belfast, enabling high tech manufacturing at one of the largest dry docks in all of Europe. We also spoke about the important role our Islandmagee gas storage project can play in ensuring energy security for the UK and Ireland”.

It was my pleasure to host Joe Kennedy in our Belfast Yard today at the start of the Northern Ireland Investment summit. Great conversation on shipbuilding and our gas storage project in Islandmagee, a project that is needed to keep the lights on in Northern Ireland!
