European green and renewable H₂ producer and supplier Lhyfe and European renewable energy developer Source Galileo announced their joint agreement to develop commercial-scale green and renewable H₂ production units in the UK and Ireland. The companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the goal of deploying production facilities powered by renewable energy, providing a boost to the net zero goals of both countries.

Under the agreement, Lhyfe and Source Galileo will combine their expertise to generate and supply the environmentally-friendly gas to a variety of customers across industry and transport, helping them decarbonize their operations. The partnership will see Lhyfe and Source Galileo collaborate to establish commercial-scale green H₂ production sites in the UK, with plans already underway for multiple units.

The energy firms are also exploring opportunities in Ireland, focusing on identifying consumers and assessing factors such as grid availability, power supply, land accessibility and planning requirements. By working together, Lhyfe and Source Galileo believe that their economies of scale can accelerate the roll-out of green H₂, meeting the increasing demand from companies aiming to reduce their reliance on natural gas and other fossil fuels.

Initially, the companies will focus on using electricity from onshore renewable sources. However, in the longer term, they could harness the enormous offshore wind potential in the UK and Ireland, which would help overcome electricity grid constraints.
