Hydrogen Electrolyser

Type of document: Contract Notice
Country: United Kingdom

1. Title: HYDROGEN ELECTROLYSER
2. Awarding Authority: University of Sheffield, GB. Web: (David Middle)
3. Contract type: Supply contract
4. Description: With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the Awarding Authority is establishing a flagship national Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) and is looking to procure and integrate into a mini-grid system a range of bioenergy and renewable energy generating equipment Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), fuel cells and electrolysers. Hydrogen is a fundamental element in the transition to low carbon (or hydrogen) economy and hydrogen generation will form a key part of the integrated infrastructure in the Centre. This capability will support R&D activities associated hydrogen utilisation as fuel and/ or energy store, and as a transformational feedstock.
The hydrogen generated will be utilised: (i) as fuel for a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell and/or fuel-cell-based micro combined heat and power (CHP) systems; (ii) additive to conventional fuels for energy generation; and (iii) for carbon dioxide utilisation applications such as liquid/gaseous fuel generation. Therefore, as part of the equipment portfolio, we are looking to procure an electrolyser capable of generating ≥ 20 Nm3/hr (preferably ≥ 30 Nm3/hr) of Hydrogen and associated hydrogen storage of minimum 300Nm3/h.
