In Ireland, Simply Blue Group, a global renewable energy developer, said it has acquired land in Whitegate, adjacent to Ireland’s only oil refinery as part of its plans to develop a renewable energy park to produce sustainable fuels.
The land acquisition represents an important stage in Simply Blue Group’s announced strategy to develop a portfolio of clean energy projects in Ireland and other markets, including Canada and Australia, using a diverse range of renewable feedstocks and inputs.
Hugh Kelly, Co-Founder and CEO of Simply Blue Group, said: “We are on a mission to deliver clean energy projects to forward the energy transition. Our outwardly focused and responsive approach to project development has helped us to take strategic decisions to diversify the sustainable fuels we plan to produce. We recognize that sustainable fuels projects using non-grid renewable energy offer a rapid route to market for many renewable energy projects.”
Michael Galvin, Director of Hydrogen and Sustainable Fuels at Simply Blue Group, said: “The highly experienced and capable sustainable fuels team have worked diligently and conscientiously to achieve an important development step for a renewable energy park able to produce low-carbon fuels at Whitegate. Their work has been crucial to identifying and initiating this opportunity and ensuring that at every step along the way we have carefully managed relations with stakeholders across the site and the community.”
