Clean infrastructure provider Elire Infra has secured £1m funding under the UK’s Clean Maritime Demonstration competition to study the feasibility of hydrogen floating power hubs.

Off-grid power hubs could in theory cut emissions from port operations and accelerate the UK’s transition to Net Zero.

Workstreams include the development of a low-pressure nanoporous hydrogen storage module (Rux Energy); integration of the hydrogen balance of plant and power conversion systems (Ricardo); design of complex AC/DC electrical architectures with renewable integration (Schneider Electric, University of Strathclyde); platform naval architecture and hydrodynamic testing (University of Strathclyde, Elire); anchoring and mooring (Triton Anchor Europe); and transportation, installation and operational strategy (Sealand Projects).

The feasibility period will run from 13 September to 31 March 2026.
