Ryze Hydrogen, the low carbon hydrogen distribution company founded by Jo Bamford, has agreed a deal with HyNet that will see it distribute hydrogen from the ground-breaking facility. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed for HyNet to supply 1,500 tonnes of hydrogen a year to Ryze. This hydrogen will be used to power world-leading hydrogen buses produced in the UK by Wrightbus, also owned by Mr Bamford, while the rest will be supplied to various industries across the area.
HyNet brings together the innovative technology and infrastructure needed to drive towards a net zero future. As part of this, the project will deliver the technology to capture and store carbon emissions, in addition to low carbon hydrogen production.
The HyNet industrial cluster region stretches from Flintshire and Wrexham, through Cheshire, Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester into Lancashire. It boasts the largest concentration of advanced manufacturing and chemical production in the UK and is home to a concentration of energy-intensive users.
The HyNet low carbon cluster is being developed by a world-class consortium of regionally located partners, Progressive Energy, Cadent, CF Fertilisers, Eni UK, Essar, Hanson, INOVYN (part of the INEOS Group) and the University of Chester.
