A 40-day sea trial of a hydrogen-powered K-class cargo vessel operating between Bristol and Belfast ports across the Irish Sea. The vessel will be equipped with a 50kW hydrogen auxiliary engine designed by Carnot and powered by 200kg of hydrogen supplied by Compact Syngas Solutions.

A waste-to-energy hydrogen initiative in Europe by Raven SR, described as pioneering in the waste-to-hydrogen sector.

Collaborative project between Denso and JERA to use waste heat for efficient hydrogen production, showcasing industrial symbiosis in energy sectors.

A hydrogen-powered auxiliary engine designed for maritime applications. Will be tested at Brunel University and deployed on a K-class cargo vessel for the Irish Sea trial.

Advanced gasification technology that converts waste materials, including biomass and non-recyclable products, into electricity, heat, and hydrogen gas while producing biochar for carbon sequestration.
