Lloyd's Register (LR) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with technology company H2Terminals, along with supply chain partners HiDROGEN and D3IM, to explore the feasibility of a green hydrogen infrastructure project in the United Kingdom. The collaboration aims to focus on floating production and transport of hydrogen while identifying regulatory requirements for the development of an offshore island and supply chain that will provide green power to businesses along the Thames Estuary and River. The project, part of the private sector-led Thames Estuary Growth Board action plan, involves the establishment of a wind, wave, and solar energy plant offshore. This initiative will see the conversion of green hydrogen into its liquid state, transportation via ship to a terminal near London, and subsequent conversion into electricity and hot water using floating barges equipped with batteries for energy storage. LR's Power to X Director, Mark Tipping, highlighted the project's significance in supporting decarbonization efforts and fostering economic growth. Gerry Wilkinson, CEO at H2Terminals, emphasized the increasing demand for green hydrogen and the project's role in delivering jobs and investment opportunities in the region. Additionally, LR granted an approval in principle to consulting company Ricardo for a containerized fuel cell power plant solution as part of the Sustainable Hydrogen Powered Shipping (sHYpS) project. Another AiP was awarded to H2SITE for its AMMONIA to H2POWER technology, designed to produce high-quality hydrogen using ammonia for a variety of vessels, from offshore platforms to tankers. These developments signify a positive outlook toward hydrogen-related technologies and sustainable solutions, aligning with the UK government's goals for low-carbon hydrogen production capacity and supporting decarbonization efforts across industries.
