He has experience across all stages of project development and brings a hand on approach to project delivery.
What are we doing?
We are developing a portfolio of green hydrogen production projects across the Scotland, England and Wales utilising existing and proposed renewable energy sources to produce clean, zero carbon, hydrogen.
We leveraging our teams extensive knowledge and experience in the renewable energy sector to drive down the cost of production of green hydrogen, ensuring delivery of a cost competitive product for the end user.
Our projects will make use of renewable energy, which may have otherwise been wasted, enabling the potential for production of 100% CO2 free hydrogen. Converting electric energy to chemical energy (Hydrogen) opens the door for easier and more efficient storage and transport.
Why are we doing it?
Hydrogen is used in several sectors including as a feedstock for industrial processes. Hydrogen potential in potential difficult to electrify transport sectors such as buses, trains, heavy-duty freight, ferries, and ocean-going shipping.
How are we doing it?
Electrolysers being powered by co-located renewable energy sources, will convert Water (H2O) into component parts hydrogen and oxygen gas. The hydrogen will then be compressed and stored and transported by either specially designed tube trailers, or by pipe, directly to customers.
Oxygen produced during the process will either be compressed, stored and transported to consumers or vented to the surrounding atmosphere, subject to local demand.
