Need (900KW)

Rousay Sanday (10% of 10KW) & Wyre Eday (900KW) (900KW) OIC (900KW) (20% of 4.5MW) Wholly owned (900KW) Joint venture

Hoy All but Westray – (900KW) ANM/New Non-firm Connections • > £4M per annum revenue • > £1M per annum after costs • > £20M over project lifetimes (in today’s value)

A direct result of our local “smart grid” • Contracts est. 3-20% curtailment levels • In outer zones 15-60% p.a. in reality • Zone 1 losses worth c. £3M p.a. revenue • Community generators > £1M p.a. in total • Individual losses of £150-350K p.a. • These levels threaten financial viability Courtesy Andrew Stennett, ERE So what are Orkney communities doing?

Encouraging and incentivising conversion to electricity use Linking demand on the grid to production and curtailment Technology – tele-switching of domestic and public heating Contractually – payment/rebate for “Grid Smart” demand Creating and encouraging, pre-grid, near site demand Researching replacement of transport fuels Local micro-grids

H2 ICEVs FCEVs Road <10kg/day transport Scale of potential demand for H APUs H ferries hydrogen on Eday in the M arine 2 2 relatively near term. 10s kg/day c.200kg/day Ammonia figure assumes transport product can be transported off Eday for use elsewhere.

A 1MW WE system produces Heating c.60kg/day up to around 450kgH2/day at full utilisation.

Ammonia 100s kg/day production

ICEV = internal combustion engine vehicle, FCEV = fuel cell electric vehicle, APU = auxiliary power unit • reviewing energy use for ferries • 9 vessels across Outer and Inner Isles routes

• 10s of MWh of diesel a day ‘each’ • Lack of mature low-carbon propulsion technology • 50kW Auxilliary Power Units & cold iron overnight The Surf and Turf project – Where it came from? Eday’s turbine is c.600m from EMEC Opportunity to combine Wind and Tide to supply the electrolyser Need a clear practical demonstration of hydrogen use Council need to decarbonise their current and future ferry fleet

Wish to lead the way for training for Marine H2 handling Initially looked at auxiliary power and burning whilst underway Difficulties in certification & approval in timescale The Surf and Turf project – what we propose to do?

• Integrate the ERE windThe to the plan... EMEC electrolyser system

• Use mobile stores to transport the hydrogen between EMEC and Pier • Run a fuel cell on the Pier making electricity to cold iron the ferries & supply the local grid. • Adapt the FC so it is like one on a ship, then equip and run a training unit on Hydrogen handling etc. Equipment: Existing wind turbine

Local pier grid Connection to

Mobile H2 store x3 80 kW FC Supplied by EMEC The Surf and Turf project – what will it achieve?

• Research integratingOnce upof tide and & wind running... generation for H2 production • Optimise the electricity inputs to match both curtailment patterns

• Develop production and transport to fit Pier use and infrastructure limits • Optimise FC to increase electricity value • Undertake training and develop full UK certification and approval Plan, report and disseminate for the legacy The Surf and Turf project

Need Opportunity Legacy The Surf and Turf project – what will be its legacy?

Put in place a self sustaining credible local H2 supply chain/use

A world first, integrating (curtailed) wind & tide for H2 production Real relief from curtailment and extra funds for the community Strengthen EMEC’s lead role in Eday, Scotland and worldwide

Reduce local authority CO2 emissions immediately

Create a platform for increased local H2 use and OIC investment

A unique MCA/MNTB backed UK facility for maritime H2 training. The Surf and Turf project
