Renewable energy developer Marubeni Europower has begun to prepare a planning application for the development of a green hydrogen production facility in Bridgend this year. The proposal has been named as the HyBont Green Hydrogen Project and would see a green hydrogen energy production facility based on land adjacent to Brynmenyn Industrial Estate in Brynmenyn, Bridgend.
The plans would see a hydrogen production facility with electrolysers that generate hydrogen from electrical power by splitting water, along with hydrogen storage, and a hydrogen refuelling station on the land. The site is currently owned by Bridgend County Borough Council and would include electrolysers, a hydrogen storage facility, hydrogen refuelling station and back-up generator. There would also be an admin building, substation, and hydrogen pipeline ‘off-take’, along with access, parking, security fencing, and drainage infrastructure.
