Dr. Niall Farrell:

There is ongoing research in Ireland on bringing in hydrogen but it is very much at pre-commercial stage. Hydrogen will be a very important resource in the long term. It could be a very important resource in Ireland because if we get a lot of offshore wind and things like that, so have more energy than we can use, then that can be combined with hydrogen production facilities as a form of storage. That aspect is on the horizon if the technology develops.
