Shoreham Port announced it has partnered with H2evolution to create a green hydrogen hub. A planning application will shortly be developed to establish a 20-Mw electrolysis plant to the south of the port's lock gates.

The hydrogen produced at Shoreham will be fully certified as green as it will be produced from a combination of captive renewable energy sources available at the port and green energy, with guaranteed certificates of renewable origin, from the grid. The hydrogen hub, which is planned to be operational in 2024, has the potential to produce fuel cell grade hydrogen to supply local and regional operators of fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) buses, HGVs and waste collection vehicles, as well as vessels and the port’s own cranes and forklift trucks.

This partnership signifies the start of the development of the hydrogen hub - further announcements on expanding the number of organisations involved will be made as the project develops.
