Liverpool-based DefProc Engineering has secured a spot on this yr’s Hydrogen Innovation Problem, organized by local weather tech hub Sustainable Ventures.
Developed for Northern Fuel Networks, the sensor screens low-pressure fuel provide at NGN’s Low Thornley website close to Gateshead; profitable testing and trials will see it rolled out to customers throughout Yorkshire, the North East and Cumbria, says DefProc.
The agency will now obtain one-to-one assist for the remainder of the yr and the chance to current the Sensible Fuel Stress Sensor at an innovation showcase in entrance of potential companions and regional finish customers.
The intention is that the Hydrogen Innovation Problem will join them to a wider community of fuel distributors seeking to decarbonise their networks by progressive means.
Jen Fenner, managing director and co-founder of DefProc Engineering, mentioned: “The Hydrogen Innovation Problem is an unbelievable alternative to showcase our capabilities as end-to-end design engineers and a market-leading innovation associate.
“We’ve worked on some revolutionary projects in recent years and the support from the Hydrogen Innovation Challenge will allow us to present these to a wider network of potential clients and make a tangible difference to the future of sustainability.”
Along with the Sensible Fuel Stress Sensor, which works with pure fuel, blended hydrogen provide or 100% hydrogen, DefProc Engineering has designed and delivered what it describes because the UK’s first low-cost home hydrogen sensor, H2Go for the EIC, Northern Fuel Networks and Wales and West Utilities.
Just like the look and operation of a conventional smoke alarm, H2Go would be the foundation for manufactured home hydrogen sensors sooner or later.
Lee-Ann Perkins, Sustainable Ventures hydrogen program supervisor, added: “Through the Hydrogen Innovation Challenge, we’re empowering startups to lead the charge in the UK’s energy transition, providing the tools and partnerships to bring innovations to market.”
Earlier this yr, DefProc Engineering was additionally one in all 5 pioneering UK companies chosen for a brand new Hydrogen Sensor Accelerator Programme with Digital Catapult, a first-of-its-kind eight-week programme to ship the UK technique for hydrogen know-how.”
