We have a number of researchers who are at the cutting edge of sustainable transport globally. One example is Dr. Rory Monaghan who reviews Hydrogens role in transport here: https://www.energyireland.ie/can-renewable-hydrogen-be-key-to-unlocking-a-decarbonised-energy-system-for-ireland/

In parallel work NUIG engineering students have gained ground as well in making the most energy efficient car possible: https://www.siliconrepublic.com/machines/geec-shell-eco-marathon-europe-ireland
Another NUIG researcher in our school of chemistry, Dr Pau Farris reviews hydrogen further and its use in sea transport here: https://irishtechnews.ie/seafuel-project-to-use-hydrogen-as-a-renewable-resource-for-transportation/
