HyDIME is an Innovate UK funded project that uses an environmentally friendly form of hydrogen as a fuel for a commercial ferry operating between Shapinsay and Kirkwall in Orkney. The project aims to make waves in the marine industry by proving the safe integration and use of hydrogen on vessels. One of HyDIME’s goals is the design and physical integration of a hydrogen injection system on a commercial passenger and vehicle ferry which will be the first of its kind worldwide. The project uses cleanly produced hydrogen from renewable energy. Excess energy generated from Orkney’s abundance of wind and tidal power is being used to produce hydrogen via electrolysis, resulting in carbon-free, ’green’ hydrogen. The HyDIME project provides a stepping stone to accelerate and de-risk future hydrogen marine projects and will contribute towards growing the hydrogen economy in the UK.
