Scottish Government's Hydrogen Innovation Scheme

A method that separates the formation of oxygen and hydrogen into different stages, locations, and rates, allowing hydrogen production directly from seawater without relying on freshwater supplies.

Conventional hydrogen production method that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen in a single step, typically requiring constant renewable energy input.

Clyde Hydrogen's planned commercial demonstration system scheduled for launch in 2027, representing the transition from pilot to commercial-scale operations.

Clyde Hydrogen's beta-stage prototype demonstrating two-stage hydrogen production with electrochemical reduction and catalytic hydrogen generation. Successfully operated continuously at pressures exceeding 100 bar under manual control.

Clyde Hydrogen's planned fully integrated pilot system incorporating automation for improved efficiency and scalability, scheduled for development by late 2025.

An innovative hydrogen production system that separates electrochemical reduction from hydrogen generation into two distinct stages, enabling hydrogen production at high pressures with intermittent renewable energy sources. The beta-stage prototype has demonstrated continuous operation at pressures exceeding 100 bar.
