Latent Drive, a developer of 'green hydrogen' technologies, has received a substantial £630,000 grant to conduct trials for their innovative SeaStack technology. The project, known as HydroPort, aims to fuel a harbour patrol boat using green hydrogen produced directly from seawater and renewable energy sources. Led by Latent Drive and supported by various partners in Dorset, including the local council and academic institutions, the trials will assess the market potential for SeaStack in decarbonizing ports and meeting increasing demand for offshore renewables. SeaStack is highlighted as the world's first commercial direct seawater-to-hydrogen electrolyser stack, optimized for offshore installation to capture wind energy efficiently. The technology is designed to produce green hydrogen from seawater at a cost below $2/kg, with versatile applications on harbour walls, wind turbines, and floating platforms. Additionally, the Dorset coast is recognized for its potential to become a renewables super cluster, with planned offshore wind projects and significant hydrogen storage capacity. The CEO of Latent Drive expressed gratitude for the government support, emphasizing the role of SeaStack in transforming clean hydrogen production economically and sustainably. This funding adds to previous grants, totaling over £1.1m, further supporting the development and scalability of the technology. Industry experts, including Darren Gee from the Net Zero Technology Centre, acknowledge the significance of SeaStack in advancing electrolyser technology and its potential to drive the future of green energy solutions.
