Haush launches new green hydrogen production facility and HQ in Wales

Green energy firm Haush has unveiled its new global headquarters and a state-of-the-art green hydrogen production facility, planting Pembroke Dock in Wales firmly on the hydrogen map.

Hydrogen production in Pembroke Dock

The centrepiece of Haush’s grand plan is its green hydrogen facility, spanning 9 acres in Pembroke Harbour.

By 2026, the firm says it’ll churn out 5,000 kilograms of green hydrogen per day, scaling up to a serious 25 tonnes per day by 2028.

This hydrogen will be the “green” – the kind produced by wind and solar energy, packing the kind of renewable muscle needed to decarbonise big players like transport, construction, heavy industry, and heating.

Scaling green hydrogen production to these levels isn’t without its challenges. The availability of renewable electricity to power electrolysers, the infrastructure needed to transport and store hydrogen, and the high initial costs are hurdles that projects like this must overcome.

Yet, with the UK’s 2030 hydrogen targets looming, initiatives like Haush’s are crucial steps toward tackling these obstacles and building a viable hydrogen economy.

Training Wales for the green economy

Haush is also making sure that Wales has the workforce to match. The company plans to train locals to take on highly skilled roles at its Milford Haven site, with an education programme designed to nurture the next generation of green energy talent.

Partnering with universities and colleges, Haush is embedding itself in the community and building a foundation of skilled workers ready to help build the region’s green energy future.

Pembroke Port’s big makeover

This all comes hot on the heels of a £60 million transformation of Pembroke Port, wrapped up in August 2024.

The port now boasts a ‘supersised slipway’ and reinforced infrastructure built to handle renewable energy projects like Haush’s hydrogen plant.

Jobs are already flowing into the area, and global investors are taking notice of Pembroke Dock’s green energy credentials.

Welsh Government fully on board

Backing from the Welsh Government has only strengthened the project’s position, with Economy, Energy and Planning Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Evans MS calling the project “an investment that will be good for our climate and economy”.

She’s not wrong. Haush’s ambitions align with Wales’ plans for green growth, renewable energy leadership, and high-quality jobs that stay local.

Pembroke Port’s hydrogen roadmap:

• August 2024: Pembroke Port’s transformation complete, laying the foundation for the hydrogen facility.
• 2026: Initial production begins, with 5,000 kilograms of hydrogen produced daily.
• 2028: Daily production scales up to 25,000 kilograms, making Haush one of the UK’s key producers.
• 2030: Nationwide facilities drive significant progress toward the UK’s hydrogen targets.

Green hydrogen is a serious contender for decarbonising industries and as an energy store where batteries can’t quite cut it.

Haush’s facility will deliver clean energy to sectors that need it most, all while proving that renewables can anchor local economies and tackle the climate crisis in one fell swoop.

Wales is making a big play for hydrogen leadership. And with the right mix of innovation, ambition, and renewable horsepower, they’re well on their way.
