ABP and Hynamics Collaborate on Low-Emission Hydrogen Production and Utilisation at a Port in Wales

By

Associated British Ports (ABP) and Hynamics, a subsidiary of the EDF Group, have revealed their intentions to assess the prospects of establishing low-carbon hydrogen production and distribution facilities at the Welsh Port of Barry, United Kingdom.

The primary objective of this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is to support the decarbonisation efforts of local industries by conducting a comprehensive feasibility study on the utilisation of low-carbon hydrogen. ABP and Hynamics have affirmed their commitment to exploring various possibilities, such as substituting natural gas in industrial processes with low-carbon hydrogen and employing it as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels in port operations and transportation.

In January 2023, ABP made headlines by conducting a hydrogen-fuelled tractor trial at the Port of Immingham's container terminal, underlining their dedication to reducing emissions from existing industries. Furthermore, the partnership believes that investing in low-carbon and transport infrastructure within the port has the potential to attract fresh investments and generate more employment opportunities for the region.

Ralph Windeatt, Head of Business Development at ABP, emphasized, "A successful study will also research a roadmap for future expansion of large-scale, low-carbon hydrogen deployment at the port. It will also explore opportunities for flexible low-carbon hydrogen supply directly to local industries, while simultaneously offering refuelling services for municipal and local transportation. By collaborating with external partners, such as the South Wales Industrial Cluster (SWIC), the Welsh Government, and the Vale of Glamorgan, our goal is to entice new industries to the Clean Growth Hub, thereby stimulating investment and job creation in the region."

Hynamics is a vital part of the team responsible for advancing the Tees Green Hydrogen project in the northeast of the UK, which has recently progressed to the final stages of the UK Government's Net Zero Hydrogen Fund (NZHF) bidding process. Initially boasting a 7.5MW electrolyzer capacity, future phases of the Tees project could potentially escalate this figure to 300MW before 2030.

Nicholas Hughes, Senior Business Development Manager at Hynamics, affirmed, "The Hynamics team is fully prepared to leverage its expertise and share the insights gained from its project at Teeside to unlock the immense potential of decarbonization opportunities at the Port of Barry for both industry and transportation."
