The project falls under the energy and related services industry category. The council aims to decarbonize heating for various buildings by utilizing green hydrogen and waste heat. The procurement stage is currently active with key dates including a tender period ending on August 9th and bid opening scheduled for August 9th as well. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the energy and services sector to engage in a sustainable project that promotes renewable energy adoption and reduces carbon emissions. Companies specializing in energy production, engineering consultancy services, and district heating are well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement method for this open procedure includes electronic submission, with details available on the eTenderwales platform, offering a transparent and accessible process for interested suppliers. ## Notice Marubeni Europower Ltd is developing a green hydrogen production facility (called HyBont) drawing on new local solar PV and wind generation via private wire and sleeving. It is proposed this will supply multiple offtakers including a heat network serving Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) owned buildings, specifically a primary school, college, and leisure centre complex approximately 1.2km away. Buro Happold produced a feasibility study in 2022 which identified the preferred solution to be that the heat network will draw green hydrogen and waste heat directly from the electrolyser to serve the heat network. Waste heat recovered from the electrolyser will be used to meet the baseload heat demand on the heat network with hydrogen boilers providing top-up heat during peak times and when waste heat is not available, due to the intermittency of renewable energy supply to electrolyser. This innovative project will fully decarbonise the heating of these buildings and make use of a heat source that would otherwise be considered waste and lost. BCBC has been awarded funding from the Heat Network Development Unit (HNDU) to undertake the Detailed Project Development (DPD) phase study to determine whether the heat network opportunity is sufficiently viable to take through to commercialisation and delivery. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Marubeni Europower Ltd is developing a green hydrogen production facility (called HyBont) drawing on new local solar PV and wind generation via private wire and sleeving.
