Specialist sustainability consultancy ERM has announced the launch of offshore trials at Pembroke Port, South Wales, to evaluate key aspects of its innovative Dolphyn Hydrogen process. The trials are a significant development in the production of low-carbon hydrogen and aim to enable the UK to produce hydrogen safely, reliably, and at scale. The Dolphyn Hydrogen process, conducted on a floating wind platform, integrates electrolysis, desalination, and hydrogen production, with hydrogen being transported to shore through pipelines for various uses such as power generation, transport, and industrial applications. Notably, this process does not rely on an electrical connection, providing a pathway for low-carbon energy generation without grid constraints. The project has received funding support from the UK Government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and has also garnered backing from the devolved Governments in Wales and Scotland. ERM has curated a multidisciplinary team combining expertise in engineering, health and safety, permitting, and stakeholder engagement to drive the project. To enhance efficiency and reduce emissions, a digital twin powered by ERM's emissions.AI software has been incorporated. The CEO of Dolphyn Hydrogen, Steve Matthews, emphasized the role of low-carbon hydrogen in energy transition and green job creation, while ERM's Group CEO, Tom Reichert, expressed excitement about realizing the vision of producing affordable low-carbon hydrogen to accelerate the transition to a net zero economy.
