Plans have been unveiled for an innovative multi-million pound green hydrogen production facility at the Ballymena headquarters of globally renowned sustainable bus manufacturer Wrightbus. Subject to planning approval, the new facility, which is being delivered by Wrightbus in partnership with Hygen Energy, will initially produce enough clean energy to power 300 hydrogen powered buses a day in Northern Ireland.The proposed Ballymena Green Hydrogen Facility is being brought forward by Wrightbus and Hygen Energy. The project is proposed on approximately 2.5 acres of land at the Wrightbus Ballymena Factory. The proposed development will make use of an existing building at the factory located at the North West of the site, bringing a new lease of life to the facility. The majority of the equipment is to be installed inside the existing red brick building with some balance of plant to be installed outside within the existing security fences. The site will be made up of a series of equipment that is required for safely producing green hydrogenThe project is currently in the pre-application community consultation phase, and it is anticipated a planning application will be submitted in April 2023Subject to planning approval, the project will create 35 jobs during construction and it is intended the facility will be built and operational by summer 2024
