West Wales Hydrogen

The 20 MW green hydrogen production facility

The West Wales Hydrogen project involves the construction of a 20 MW green hydrogen production facility in the South of Wales. The production site is located in Puma Energy’s hydrocarbon storage and distribution terminal in Milford Haven, situated on a former oil refinery. The terminal, part of the Celtic Freeport, is already equipped with 63 storage tanks, a comprehensive network of pipelines connecting storage and jetty facilities, and road and rail loading capabilities.

02 Standards

Highest standards only

In compliance with the EU's regulatory framework for green hydrogen (RED II/RED III/RFNBO), the power supplied to the plant will adhere to stringent sustainability standards. We have measures in place to ensure compliance, safety, and sustainability in our operations. Working alongside expert assurance providers, we verify compliant and safe designs, conduct risk assessments, adhere to industry practices for innovative technologies, and perform sustainability impact studies.

03 Demand

Hydrogen for port and industrial operations

The energy required for this project will be sourced from both new and already operating renewable energy sources (mainly wind farms) in the UK. The hydrogen produced, expected to be around 4-5 tons per day, will be primarily used to decarbonise port and industrial operations within South Wales. The project is set to create 17 permanent jobs, contributing to the local economy and community sustainability.

04 Responsibility

Commitment to environment

West Wales Hydrogen marks a substantial advancement in harnessing renewable energy for sustainable hydrogen production, aligning with the UK’s Low Carbon Hydrogen Standards. These standards are crucial for ensuring that hydrogen production contributes effectively to the country’s carbon reduction goals. By adhering to these guidelines, the initiative sets a precedent for future green energy projects in the UK, demonstrating a commitment to both innovation and environmental responsibility.
