Hygen is the lead developer of the Bradford Low Carbon Hydrogen site which is due to come on stream in 2028, in Yorkshire.
With construction company JCB and zero-emission bus manufacturer Wrightbus already signed up to take hydrogen from the site, GeoPura’s addition continues the forward momentum in transforming a landmark of Bradford’s energy heritage into a hub for the future.
The facility will produce up to 15 tpd of hydrogen using renewable electricity to power a 35 MW alkaline electrolyser.
GeoPura has agreed to take 15% of the available hydrogen in the first year, upping its commitment to 20% from year two onwards.
Recently merged with Ballard Power Systems, an international developer of hydrogen fuel cell technology, GeoPura designs, manufactures, and operates its hydrogen power unit (HPU), offering clean, off-grid power. GeoPura also produces green hydrogen via electrolysis at its own dedicated production facilities across the UK, transporting the fuel with the UK’s largest compressed hydrogen distribution fleet.
As the largest project to secure funding through the UK Government’s first hydrogen allocation round, Bradford Low Carbon Hydrogen is a model for the UK’s clean energy transition, supporting Bradford’s ambition to be a net-zero city by 2038.
