Green Biofuels Limited (GBF) has opened its new facility in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork, Ireland. The company invested €30 million in the site to initially store 38 million litres of Gd+, the company’s hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) biofuel. The clean fuel is made from waste biomass feedstocks, waste vegetable oils and animal fats and supercharged with an engine-enhancing additive. The company also announced it had agreed with the Port of Cork Company the use of a dedicated jetty with a 259m berth that will be used to pump HVO biofuel directly to and from vessels. In the near future, the facility will also be used to import, export, store and distribute the biofuel, helping service the accelerating demand for HVO biofuel in Ireland and acting as an overseas supply hub contributing to national export revenues. www.gbf.ltd GBF OPENS NEW FACILITY IN CO.

BORD GÁIS ENERGY WELCOMES NATIONAL HYDROGEN STRATEGY
Bord Gáis Energy has recently welcomed the publication of the Government’s National Hydrogen Strategy paper, which sets out the vision for how hydrogen will be produced and used in Ireland. The plan outlines how green hydrogen can help Ireland become a zero-carbon, secure energy system and an energy exporter. A key objective of the strategy was to provide certainty to investors and industry as to how hydrogen will be deployed in the Irish energy system. Bord Gáis Energy strongly believes that green hydrogen is a keystone to Ireland becoming a clean, green- energy powerhouse, and is investing €300m in the construction of two hydrogen-capable power generation plants, which will be ready to support the grid at the end of 2024. Emma Burrows, Legal, Regulation and Corporate Affairs Director at Bord Gáis Energy, commented: “Ensuring that the industry is provided with the necessary certainty to inform future investment strategies is vital if Ireland is to unlock the potential that green hydrogen presents.” www.bordgaisenergy.ie
