Wylfa wind small hydrogen modular reactor (SMR) project.
Location
North Wales, in the UK.
Project Owner/s
Shearwater Energy.
Project Description
The project entails the development of a wind SMR and hydrogen production hybrid energy project.
The project will provide 3 GWe of zero-carbon energy and is also expected to produce more than three-million kilograms of green hydrogen a year for use by the UK’s transport sector, ensuring full use of the energy produced.
Shearwater has also submitted an outline proposal to the British government and the devolved governments of Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, all of which stand to derive considerable economic benefits in connection with the proposed project.
