The series kicks off with an inaugural episode, Unlocking Net Zero Transport Through Green Energy, which focuses on Holyhead Hydrogen Hub.

The podcast is produced in collaboration with Business News Wales as part of the media firm's podcast production service. Editor Gemma Casey is the podcast host.

Menter Môn Director Gerallt Llewelyn Jones said:
'We're aiming to deliver the Holyhead Hydrogen Hub as part of our growing energy portfolio, driven by a vision to create local jobs, boost the region's economy, and ensure that the transition to clean energy delivers long-term benefit for our communities.
'In this podcast we discuss the potential benefits of a low-carbon economy in North Wales, and how we can contribute to the wider decarbonisation agenda across Wales.
'It's also a great opportunity to reflect on everything that Menter Môn has achieved over the past three decades in unlocking the potential of our people and resources to secure the future of our communities – and the ambitious plans we have going forward.'

'Research shows that too often businesses don't access the funding which could unlock growth simply because they aren't aware of the options available to them or how they work.

Anglesey communities urged to apply for £5k project support

Following the success of Balchder Bro led by Menter Môn last year, the scheme is back, with the aim of giving people the confidence to put forward ideas that celebrate what makes their area unique. Funded by the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund, the emphasis will be on celebrating the Welsh language and the island's identity through events and projects that promote local pride. With just over a week until the closing date, Catrin Jones, language and community manager at Menter Môn, has a clear message: "This is a great opportunity for communities and groups to take advantage of support to realise ideas that can bring different groups together. "With the deadline on the 8th of June, I would urge people to get in touch with us to apply. "We can provide support for events or to create something that celebrates communities across the island. "We hope to stimulate discussions about what makes people proud of their community and enable them to bring ideas to life. "Menter Môn has considerable track record of working at a community level, and our aim is to use this experience to help deliver worthwhile projects." One of the schemes that received support last year was Gŵyl Gogogoch, Llanfairpwll. Bethan Môn, one of the organisers, said: "For the first time in a long while, we had a community event in the village which was an opportunity for us to bring everyone together, celebrate our Welsh identity and raise money for a community project. "Without the support this would not have been possible." To apply for support an application form to declare an interest is available by contacting Sioned McGuigan at Metner Môn on sionedmc@ Sioned can help communities move the process forward.
