Dolphyn Hydrogen Trials Paving the Way for Offshore Production in UK
Key Ideas
  • ERM launches offshore trials for Dolphyn Hydrogen process in South Wales, marking UK's first offshore hydrogen production from seawater.
  • The trials aim to enable the UK to produce low-carbon hydrogen at scale for diverse applications like power generation, transport, and heating.
  • The project, supported by UK government funding and championed by devolved Governments, highlights the crucial role of low-carbon hydrogen in the energy transition.
  • Performance data from the trials will inform the future deployment of full-scale Dolphyn units to accelerate the move towards a sustainable, net zero economy.
ERM has initiated offshore trials in South Wales for its Dolphyn Hydrogen process, a significant milestone as the first offshore hydrogen production in the UK from seawater. The process combines electrolysis, desalination, and hydrogen production on a floating wind platform at Pembroke Port. This endeavor, supported by UK government funding through the Low Carbon Hydrogen Supply 2 Competition, aims to produce low-carbon hydrogen for various applications on a large scale. The CEO of Dolphyn Hydrogen emphasizes the role of low-carbon hydrogen in energy transition and job creation for a green economy. The trials will provide valuable insights for the design of future full-scale Dolphyn units to be deployed in multiple locations. ERM's vision for affordable low-carbon hydrogen production is becoming a reality, driving progress towards a sustainable future.
