The joint industry programmes such as Operation Zero and the Departments for Transports Maritime Decarbonisation roadmap have identified the Offshore Wind's Maritime sector as a one of the first users at scale for zero emissions fuels based on Hydrogen. However the retail price of delivered hydrogen is extremely high at the moment which varies from £150/kg to £700/kg, which is a major barrier for the adoption of hydrogen to displace diesel.Engas Global an electrolyser and hydrogen compressor company, in collaboration with DB Agri Ltd a biogas farm company in Steyning-West Sussex, and Cox Powertrain an outboard manufacturer based in Shoreham, supported by Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult are creating together a localised green hydrogen supply chain to meet the local needs without transporting hydrogen from far-away places at much lower cost due the innovative technologies such as a patented electrolyser to make hydrogen, hydrogen compressor, smart-hydrogen storage system, and dedicated hydrogen-trailers to supply hydrogen to the customers promptly and cost effectively, thus offering a complete end to end solution. This project will develop and test new business models of green-hydrogen storage and delivery which can be scaled up and replicated elsewhere the UK.This green hydrogen supply chain project is timely and consistent with government's Ten-Point-Plan towards net zero. Electrolytic green-hydrogen prevents about 10kg CO2 emission/kg hydrogen when it is produced by currently dominant method of Steam-methane-reformation process.Exceptional growth is forecast in the next 5 years in green hydrogen sector to unlock the potential in the UK and exporting the technology abroad. The innovative solutions of this project will help to accelerate hydrogen-technologies as more and more customers adopt green hydrogen.For every 1kg hydrogen produced there is also 7.8kg Oxygen produced as a free by-product and oxygen used by water companies for waste water treatment, or in high-temperature process-industries (steel/ cement/ glass etc).The focus of this project is to create an integrated business model by:i) lowering the cost of hydrogen production due to an innovative electrolyser technology;ii) lowering the cost of hydrogen-storage due to a novel low maintenance robust hydrogen compressor that is easy to service and not dependent on specialised hydrogen-skills;iii) enabling better logistical planning due to remotely readable smart-hydrogen storage system, andiv) faster delivery by introducing dedicated hydrogen trailers that can be driven around in local roads without the need for expensive lifting by Hi-ab trucks.

联合行业计划，如零操作和运输部门海上脱碳路线图，已将海上风电的海事部门确定为基于氢的零排放燃料的首批用户之一。然而，目前氢气的零售价格非常高，从150英镑/公斤到700英镑/公斤不等，这是采用氢气替代柴油的主要障碍。Engas Global是一家电解槽和氢气压缩机公司，与位于Steyning-West Sussex的沼气农场公司DB Agri Ltd和位于Shoreham的舷外机制造商考克斯Powertrain合作，在海上可再生能源Catapult的支持下，我们正在共同创建一个本地化的绿色氢气供应链，以满足当地的需求，而无需以更低的成本从遥远的地方运输氢气，因为创新技术，如专利的电解槽，氢气压缩机，智能储氢系统，和专用氢气拖车，以迅速和经济有效地向客户供应氢气，从而提供完整的端到端解决方案。该项目将开发和测试绿色氢储存和输送的新商业模式，这些模式可以在英国其他地方扩大和复制。这个绿色氢供应链项目是及时的，符合政府的十点计划，实现净零排放。电解绿色氢在目前占主导地位的蒸汽-甲烷-重整工艺生产时，可减少约10 kg CO2排放/kg氢。预计未来5年绿色氢行业将出现异常增长，以释放英国的潜力并将技术出口到国外。随着越来越多的客户采用绿色氢气，该项目的创新解决方案将有助于加快氢气技术的发展。每生产1 kg氢气，还将产生7.8 kg氧气作为免费副产品，并将氧气用于水务公司的废水处理或高温加工行业（钢铁/水泥/玻璃等）。该项目的重点是通过以下方式创建综合业务模式：i）由于创新的电解槽技术，降低了氢气生产的成本; ii）由于新的低维护耐用的氢压缩机而降低了氢储存的成本，该氢压缩机易于维修并且不依赖于专门的氢技能; iii）由于远程可读的智能氢存储系统，能够实现更好的物流规划，andiv）通过引入专用的氢气拖车来加快交付速度，这些拖车可以在当地道路上行驶，而不需要Hi-ab卡车进行昂贵的提升。
