MTC takes key role in SHyLO low carbon hydrogen project
Engineers at the Manufacturing Technology Centre are participating in SHyLO, a project to develop low carbon hydrogen storage and supply systems to help the UK toward net zero.
The SHyLO project has won £4.3m in funding from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) under the Government's Net Zero Innovation Portfolio Low Carbon Hydrogen Supply 2 Competition.
MTC is partnering SHyLO project leader H2GO Power, a spin-out from Cambridge University based at Imperial College, London.
The SHyLO project – which includes ARC Consulting, Autodesk, HSSMI and EMEC - involves the design and build of a modular hydrogen storage system which can be scaled to become a commercially viable solution to hydrogen storage and supply. The system will look to use a standard shipping container to ensure ease of transport and deployment in almost any environment.
The MTC will support the design, build and testing of the storage container, hosting the main build activity at the MTC's Coventry site.
In a statement Huw Sullivan, sector lead for hydrogen at the MTC, said: “Supporting the delivery of net zero, including hydrogen technology, is core to the MTC's vision for future UK manufacturing."
