Ryze Power has agreed to provide green hydrogen to Ricardo’s technical centre in Shoreham, UK, to support fuel cell system testing.
The Shoreham facility is focused on developing hydrogen, alternative fuels and electrified transport engineering, serving industries such as off-highway, commercial vehicles, marine and aerospace.
Tim Bassett, Head of Test at Ricardo, said he’s delighted to see a “regular supply” of green hydrogen to the UK site, which expanded its capabilities last May by supporting marine customers with the design, development and testing of propulsion systems.
He said, “Having recently doubled our hydrogen test capacity for fuel cell and sustainably fuelled hydrogen combustion engines, having a reliable supplier to support our activities is crucial.
“This will help us to deliver key innovations based on customer requirements, as well as to continue to explore opportunities in new markets and industries.”
Alex Webster, Sales Director at Ryze Power, claimed partnerships like the one with Ricardo are “vital to building a vibrant hydrogen economy in the UK.”
He continued, “Ryze’s ambition is to continue to prove the case for hydrogen across a wide array of transportation types, supporting hydrogen infrastructure and alternative fuels to Net Zero transformative industries.”
Ryze has partnered with numerous UK-based firms to supply hydrogen in the past. Last year, it agreed to provide aviator ZeroAvia with hydrogen for use in engine and flight testing at Cotswold Airport.
