Notice Title

Hydrogen Compressor for HyDUS

Notice Description

The HyDUS initiative is an energy-storage demonstration project in which UKAEA is a key collaborator alongside other organisations. The technical process requires a hydrogen compressor to recover high-purity hydrogen from initial pressures down to ~0.1bara and compress it for storage at 10-20 bara. UKAEA has previously issued a PIN to understand from the market the potential capabilities of such a requirement. This opportunity seeks to appoint a supplier able to supply a hydrogen compressor to carry out testing on the capability to convert gaseous hydrogen into electricity at point of use. This option could offer significant advantages in ensuring energy supplies can be delivered to remote areas or during times of peak demand. The purchase of a hydrogen compressor will enable UKAEA to test the capability of electrochemical fuel cell technology, particularly in terms of gaseous hydrogen acceptance criteria, operating conditions and energy conversion efficiency.
