Welsh Assembly First Minister Rhodri Morgan is to open a hydrogen energy research and demonstration centre in Port Talbot, south Wales tomorrow, which is to showcase the benefits of hydrogen fuel cells integrated with renewable sources such as solar

The Baglan Energy Park Hydrogen Demonstration project has been developed by the University of Glamorgan in partnership with Neath Port Talbot Council to demonstrate the viability and safety of producing hydrogen from indigenous renewable resources in Wales.
