## Summary

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority is seeking a supplier for a Hydrogen Compressor as part of the HyDUS energy-storage project. The procurement stage is active with a tender deadline on 19th September 2023. The contract period is set to start on 2nd October 2023. The industry category for this tender is "Pumps and compressors".

This tender offers an opportunity for businesses involved in supplying compressors or operating in the hydrogen technology sector to participate. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited for this opportunity. The open procurement method allows fair competition for interested suppliers to provide the required hydrogen compressor to UKAEA for testing electrochemical fuel cell technology.

## Notice

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.
