Luxfer Gas Cylinders - a leading manufacturer of high-pressure
composite and aluminum cylinders worldwide – is joining forces with
Octopus Hydrogen – a subsidiary of green energy tech pioneer
Octopus Energy – in the specification and supply of bulk gas
transport modules that will carry green hydrogen across the UK.
The 40ft long units designed by Luxfer, which are called
Multiple Element Gas Containers (MEGC), can transport 1.1 tonnes of
hydrogen from the electrolyser plant to the point of use. They will
be deployed from mid-2022 and will help address the infrastructure
barrier that is impacting wide adoption of the technology.
William Rowe, CEO and Founder of Octopus Hydrogen, said: “Our
focus is on delivering green hydrogen to the sectors which cannot
be decarbonised by batteries alone, mainly aviation and heavy-duty
road vehicles. We are building a network of decentralised green
hydrogen production sites using electrolysis, co-located with
renewable energy generation, with localised distribution.
“We are working with Luxfer Gas Cylinders to make green hydrogen
for mobility a reality. Luxfer understands the challenges of safely
transporting large amounts of hydrogen and is delivering a
fantastic solution now and has a great future roadmap."
Luxfer’s alternative fuel experts have a proven track record in
developing and supplying bulk gas transport solutions across
Europe, Asia Pacific and North America.
Mark Lawday, Global Sales Director from Luxfer added: “We
manufacture over one million high performance, high pressure
cylinders every year. In the alternative fuel sector, we have a
team of designers and engineers who develop industry leading
systems, integrating lightweight composite cylinders into fuel
system modules for compressed natural gas and hydrogen applications
ranging from buses, trucks, boats to bulk gas transport
trailers.
“Bulk gas transport for hydrogen is an important piece of the
jigsaw in enabling the hydrogen economy to be fully realised and
reach net zero goals. It’s an exciting step forward, and we’re
proud to be working alongside Octopus Hydrogen to drive forward
innovation.”
Work to deliver the systems will be led from Luxfer’s UK
manufacturing campus in Nottingham, which is home to an alternative
fuel team that has designed bespoke hydrogen systems for
world-first transport projects including double decker hydrogen
buses, HGVs, and the UK’s first hydrogen train.
