The Port of Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland, has introduced a green hydrogen shore demonstrator designed to supply clean energy to berthed vessels.

Effluent from a nearby wastewater treatment plant is processed using Waterhelm’s technology to produce reusable water. The water undergoes electrolysis via Logan Energy’s systems to generate green hydrogen.
