At the Connected Places Summit, Rux Energy and Serco announced the successful completion of a pioneering study aimed at revolutionizing hydrogen storage and distribution for the maritime sector. The study, funded by the Connected Places Catapult through the UK Maritime Accelerator Programme, highlighted the potential of hydrogen as a zero-carbon emission power-fuel. Traditional storage methods for hydrogen are costly and energy-intensive, posing a hurdle for its widespread use. However, Rux Energy's breakthrough solution, incorporating a patented advanced nanoporous material, offers a more efficient and safer alternative. The collaborative study with Serco assessed the feasibility and cost of a localised hydrogen supply chain for maritime applications, proving that green hydrogen is a cost-competitive option to traditional marine fuels. The innovative storage solution, named HARMONY, aims to demonstrate the commercial viability of hydrogen storage technology in a maritime environment. Both companies emphasize the importance of decarbonization and energy security objectives in the adoption of hydrogen technology, showcasing a positive outlook on the future of hydrogen in the maritime industry.
