THE EUROPEAN MARINE ENERGY CENTRE LIMITED

Building Innovative Green Hydrogen systems in an Isolated Territory: a pilot for Europe

THE EUROPEAN MARINE ENERGY CENTRE LIMITED is active in the european innovation council space based in STROMNESS.

Profile

BIG HIT will create a replicable hydrogen territory in Orkney (Scotland) by implementing a fully integrated model of hydrogen production, storage, transportation and utilisation for heat, power and mobility. BIG HIT will absorb curtailed energy from two wind turbines and tidal turbines on the islands of Eday and Shapinsay, and use 1.5MW of PEM electrolysis to convert it into ~50 t pa of hydrogen. This will be used to heat two local schools, and transported by sea to Kirkwall in 5 hydrogen trailers, where it will be used to fuel a 75kW fuel cell (which will provide heat and power to the harbour buildings, a marina and 3 ferries when docked), and a refuelling station for a fleet of 10 fuel cell vehicles.

The project employs a novel structure to manage the hydrogen trading, and dissemination that includes a follower territory and associations of over 1640 isolated territories.

The company sits in the european innovation council segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

The business is associated with STROMNESS.

The company is listed at the CLOSED stage of development.
