How Hydrogen energy works

Hydrogen is an energy carrier, not an energy source, meaning it stores and delivers energy in a usable form – It’s important to understand that hydrogen isn’t a primary energy source like the sun or fossil fuels, extracted from the earth. It’s more like a battery – you must put energy IN to create usable hydrogen.

A clean energy battery

Using renewable sources like Anglesey's wind and solar, we can create hydrogen fuel and store it for later use. With its abundance of renewable energy, Anglesey is perfectly positioned to be a hydrogen leader.

Used for a wide range of applications

Today, we use hydrogen for a wide range of applications, including powering vehicles, storing energy for later use, and even producing everyday products like fertilisers. It was formerly used in airships due to its buoyant properties.

Tapping into the Earth’s natural heat

More facilities are using renewable energy to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen using a process called electrolysis, where an electrical current is passed through a liquid, splitting it into its constituent parts.

Hydrogen energy advantages

An attractive option for energy supply diversification

Hydrogen can be produced from various resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, solar and wind.

Can be used for a wide range of applications

Including powering vehicles, storing energy for later use, and even producing everyday products like fertilisers.

A flexible, clean energy source

Hydrogen energy can be stored, exported, or used later when needed.

A game-changer for Anglesey

Plans for a Hydrogen Hub on Anglesey have been approved, paving the way for the first development of its kind in Wales. The project will see the hub built at Parc Cybi, Holyhead by social enterprise, Menter Môn. Green hydrogen will be produced at the site and distributed as fuel for zero emission hydrogen-powered vehicles.
