## Summary

The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) Ltd is currently involved in a public procurement process for the "Hydrogen Refuelling Solution," aimed at designing and constructing mobile or semi-permanent hydrogen refuelling units for the HyFlyer project. This procurement falls under the goods category within the Renewable Energy industry and is situated in Orkney, UK. The process is at the Award stage, with a contract signed on 18 November 2019. The total contract value is set at £430,000, and the project has key delivery locations, Kirkwall Airport and Cranfield Airport, requiring completion by March and May 2020, respectively. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, inviting unrestricted submissions.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses in the energy and engineering sectors, particularly those with expertise in hydrogen technologies and renewable energy systems. Companies capable of designing robust refuelling solutions that meet stringent performance criteria, such as delivering hydrogen at high pressures, will find this project particularly relevant. Suppliers with innovative approaches to integrating renewable energy sources and cost-effective engineering solutions are well-positioned to compete effectively in this tender process.

## Notice

Design and build of a mobile/semi-permanent hydrogen refuelling unit(s) for HyFlyer project.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The scope of work includes the design of the hydrogen refuelling solution required to satisfy the supply needs at Cranfield Airport, Cranfield by March 2020 and from Kirkwall Airport, Orkney by May 2020. This system should be capable of delivering 20kg loads of hydrogen per test at a pressure of 350bar with capability of up to 50kg available daily. The solution for both locations can act independently or be presented as one transportable system which can be deployed between locations. Using locally constrained renewable energy, EMEC aims to supply green hydrogen to the system, however options for "onsite" generation of hydrogen will also be considered. If supplied, green hydrogen would come in bespoke MEGC trailers, currently used to transport gas locally in Orkney. Trailers are capable of delivering 250kg of hydrogen at 200 bar pressure.
