Wales is on the brink of a green energy revolution, and at the centre of this transformation is Haush, a leader in green hydrogen technology. Its Pembroke Dock Hydrogen Hub will accelerate the country’s progress toward a net-zero economy. Here, we delve into the significance of Haush’s role in this groundbreaking project and the far-reaching impact on Wales’s economy, job creation, and renewable energy integration.
Leading Green Hydrogen Production
At the heart of the Pembroke Dock Hydrogen Hub is the Haush Green Hydrogen facility, situated on a 9-acre site within the newly revamped Pembroke Dock. The state-of-the-art facility will boast a production capacity of 120MW and is expected to generate up to 60,000 kilograms of green hydrogen per day starting in 2026. This will make Haush one of the leading producers of green hydrogen in the UK. Additionally, RWE in Pembroke, will contribute to the region’s green hydrogen capacity with a 110MW facility (Phase 1) and a 200MW expansion (Phase 2), further cementing Pembroke as a hydrogen production powerhouse.

By using renewable energy sources like wind and solar, Haush’s green hydrogen technology offers a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, reducing carbon emissions. The Haush green hydrogen will play a pivotal role in decarbonising sectors such as heavy and light transport, industry, and heating, both in Wales and across the UK. By 2030, Haush’s facilities in Wales, Scotland and England is expected to contribute significantly to the UK’s hydrogen production targets, highlighting its national significance.
The Revamped Pembroke Port: A Hub for Green Energy
The transformation of Pembroke Dock, officially completed in August 2024, marks a major milestone in the development of the Pembroke Dock Hydrogen Hub. The port, equipped with a “supersised slipway”, is now tailored to facilitate renewable energy projects. Key to this revamp is the concrete slab installation at Haush’s Green Hydrogen site, enabling the future deployment of our production plant.
These upgrades are set to attract further investment in green technologies and have already helped to create up to 1,800 new jobs in the local economy. With the Pembroke Dock at its core, Haush is positioned to lead the development of Wales’s hydrogen infrastructure, drawing global interest and investment.
Central Role in the Celtic Freeport and Job Creation
The integration of Haush’s Pembroke Dock Hydrogen Hub into the Celtic Freeport is one of the most promising drivers of economic growth and job creation in the region. The Celtic Freeport initiative builds on the legacy of the Pembroke Dock Marine project and is expected to generate up to 16,000 jobs across various sectors, from construction to specialised renewable energy roles.
Haush is making Pembroke Dock its global headquarters, based in the historic Fleet Surgeon’s House, a prestigious Georgian townhouse within the port. This headquarters will not only oversee Haush’s local operations but also drive national and international expansion, fostering skilled jobs, and generating substantial revenue. Additionally, Haush is committed to education and workforce development by establishing a local education and resource centre in the Fleet Surgeon’s House, This centre will collaborate with colleges and universities, ensuring a steady pipeline of skilled workers to support Wales’s green energy future.

A Thriving Renewable Energy Cluster
The Milford Haven Waterway Future Energy Cluster is at the forefront of Wales’s low-carbon energy ambitions, and Haush is a key player in this growing ecosystem. Alongside the Pembroke Dock Hydrogen Hub, the cluster has mapped out plans to contribute to 10% of the Celtic Sea Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) target by 2030, integrating wind energy into the broader hydrogen infrastructure.
The cluster’s projects, including the Milford Haven Energy Kingdom (MH:EK), are focused on fostering renewable energy solutions like hydrogen and wind power. These initiatives are vital to achieving energy independence and reducing carbon emissions across the region.
Collaborations and Partners in Green Energy
Haush is not working alone. The company is collaborating with several key players to realise the full potential of Pembroke’s green energy transition. Ledwood Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Pembroke Dock, is a specialist in gas and energy project management, will work closely with Haush to design, develop, and maintain the green hydrogen production plant. Ledwood’s extensive experience in liquified natural gas (LNG) storage facilities has played a leading role in the development of LNG process installations at the UK’s first major storage terminals at South Hook, Dragon and Isle of Grain, which qualifies them to develop, operate and maintain the Haush Green Hydrogen production plant.
Other notable green energy companies, include RWE, Blue Gem Wind, Enso Energy, and RiverSimple. Together, these companies are building a robust green energy ecosystem that will sustain Wales’s economy and contribute to the global transition to renewable energy.
Beyond Pembroke Dock, Haush has ambitious plans for green hydrogen production at three other sites across the UK, including Glasgow, the Midlands, and Southern England, with a total production capacity of 360MW by 2028. From Pembroke Dock, Haush will also export green hydrogen to Europe, making Wales a key player in the international hydrogen economy.
The Pembroke Dock Hydrogen Hub: A New Era for Clean Energy
Haush’s leadership at the Pembroke Dock Hydrogen Hub is a powerful example of Wales’s commitment to renewable energy innovation. With the ability to produce up to 40,000 kilograms of green hydrogen per day, the hub will not only power local economies but also attract billions in investment. As Wales advances towards a net-zero future, Haush’s contributions will be central to driving the nation’s renewable energy progress, cementing Pembroke as a global hub for green hydrogen.
