The Scottish Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Freight Trail -- ShyFT -- will assess the market opportunity for zero-emission fuel cell electric (FCEV) trucks in key segments of early business adopters looking to decarbonise freight operations in emission sensitive sectors such as forestry; food and drink wholesale, including cold-chain and utilities. The purpose of the...

Our proposed project led by i4 Product Design, with partners ShapeSpace, Houston We Have (HWH), BOC and McLaren Plastics will assess the feasibility of an accurate software estimator of projects and injection moulded parts, and a portal that connects engineers and UK manufacturers to fulfill their supply chains requirements. A prototype part cost calculat...

The Net Zero Teesside project, together with its associated Transportation and Storage project, the Northern Endurance Partnership, create a pathway to facilitate decarbonisation of the Teesside industrial cluster in the mid 2020s. Net Zero Teesside and the Northern Endurance Partnership are led by bp and leverage world class expertise from across industr...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) also known as 3D printing is a process where objects are produced by adding and depositing material in layers. AM offers significant advantages over traditional manufacturing namely design freedom,lead time reduction and lightweighting resulting to increased performance, cost reduction and new business models-digital inventorie...

Awaiting Public Project Summary

By combining 2 processes an innovative system will disrupt traditional process practices leading to a step change in supply chain efficiency within the fast growing markets for ready meals, soups and other sauce based food products. Through rapid cooking (steam infusion) and rapid cooling (liquid nitrogen) major issues effecting food quality, nutritional ...

Cascade Technologies, a manufacturer of high-technology, laser based, gas analysers and the National Physical Laboratory have joined together with leaders in the hydrogen energy sector, BOC, ITM Power and the University of St Andrews to develop a new tool for the quality assurance of hydrogen fuel. Cascade Technologies, with support from the University of...

This project aims to produce a convenient, low-cost and low carbon energy service to customers who need power in remote situations, such as construction sites, environmental monitoring or transport equipement. The service will use hydrogen as a fuel and fuel cells as the power source, together optimised to match the power requirements of modern low energy...

Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing (AM), known as cladding, where a metal powder or wire feed is melted using electron/laser beam or electric arc, has significant advantages over powder bed fusion AM. Cladding offers very high deposition rates, material flexibility, and can be used in a hybrid approach, enabling complex features or differen...

This project is a ground-breaking demonstration of a whole renewable hydrogen system. A large 1MWe electrolyser will be connected to the grid, in conjunction with an Aberdeenshire wind farm to explore the grid impacts and energy storage potential of hydrogen generation. This hydrogen will be collected in tube trailers using novel tube trailer filling equi...

The Dual-Fuel Pathfinder (DFP) project is a partnership of The BOC Group and Stobart Group, to provide a fast-track route to expanding use of dual-fuel commercial vehicles and supporting refuelling infrastructure, by robust testing of the technology within a major road haulage fleet, to refine and promote further UK-based technological innovation, to help...

This 2.5 year project, at the Honda Swindon Manufacturing site, delivers solar energy generated hydrogen for the existing public access H2 refuelling station via a commercially available electrolyser into onsite storage, supplied by BOC Ltd to fuel a range of H2FC material handling equipment supplied by Briggs Equipment Ltd, Revolve Technologies converted...
