UK’s H2Terminals and Chinese Energy Group Collaborating on Green Hydrogen Infrastructure Development
H2Terminals Limited, a a London-based green hydrogen marine technology company, is starting to work officially with China National Energy Group's subsidiary, Longyuan Environmental Protection and Yangzhou Pingbuqingyun Hydrogen Tech (Hidrogen), on developing international green hydrogen infrasstructure.
The collaboration will focus on developing three zero-carbon projects in China:
- An offshore zero-carbon integrated energy island project
- A zero-carbon town development
- A zero-carbon port initiative
The projects will aim to demonstrate H2Terminals' offshore hydrogen production and distribution technologies, including AEM high-pressure seawater electrolysis for green hydrogen production, hydrogen liquefaction systems, and storage and transportation solutions.
"This is a significant Anglo-Chinese collaboration to fully exploit the H2Terminals supply chain ecosystem that will be implemented in the UK. Collaborating with our partners on three major projects in China as well as major infrastructure projects in the UK will ensure our marine-based approach will be given the best possible runway to success and further help the decarbonization of those countries that choose to implement our solution,” said Gerry Wilkinson, CEO of H2Terminals, in a statement.
Key technological components of the partnership include development of several elements in the green hydrogen production chain: Composite large-volume gaseous spherical Type IV vessel technology, multi-blade vertical axis wind turbines, spherical wave energy power generation equipment, and integration of hydrogen liquefaction storage and transportation systems.
The collaboration leverages Longyuan Environmental Protection's substantial equipment manufacturing capabilities and will create important demonstration sites within the National Energy Group's network. The partnership not only aims to promote the application of a major technical equipment in the energy field but also contribute to the establishment of related industry standards.
H2Terminals' floating energy island concept, capable of generating up to 876,000 MWh of hydrogen annually per unit, will be implemented across the projects, highlighting the scalability and efficiency of the company’s approach to clean energy production and distribution.
The partnership is supported by H2Terminals' existing collaborations with Lloyd's Register and the London P&I Club and creates an inclusive framework for the global implementation of floating energy islands and hydrogen transportation systems.
