Hydrogen Aggregated UK Logistics (HyHAUL)

About the Project

HyHAUL will develop a hydrogen supply chain and provide hydrogen refuelling infrastructure along the M4 corridor while laying the foundation for a UK wide network. It will deploy up to 30 hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks (FCET), with the majority being >40-tonne heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), a dedicated fleet hydrogen transport systems and 3 state of the art hydrogen refuelling stations capable of dispensing up to 2 tonnes per day. HyHAUL will demonstrate integration between hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and end-user offtake in this first-of-a-kind full supply chain project. HyHAUL Mobility Limited (HML) is 50/50 Joint Venture of Protium Green Solutions and Marubeni Europower.

Project Activities and Deliverables

The project consortium aims to deliver:

• Demonstrate the hydrogen FCEV capability, reliability, and sustainability by deploying up to 30 hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks in the UK.
• Innovative bulk hydrogen transportation systems.
• Kick-starting the infrastructure rollout 3 hydrogen refuelling stations with dispensing capabilities of up to 2 tonnes per day.
• Providing a first-of-a-kind commercial framework for the hardest to decarbonise transport sectors.
• Delivering the full hydrogen supply chain.

Benefits

• HyHAUL is engaged in long-term partnerships with key vehicle OEMs, guaranteeing vehicle supply and lease to logistics operators.
• As part of the HyHAUL network, dedicated hydrogen supply projects will guarantee consistent supply of low-carbon hydrogen.
• HyHAUL first mover benefits, allows operators and customers to understand the changes required to decarbonise and meet UK requirements, learning lessons and guaranteeing hydrogen supply after the 5-year demonstration period.
• As the network is built together with the logistics operators, providing the platform to allow customers to have a voice and input into the refuelling infrastructure is flexibly set up around desired routes.
• FCETs refuel within about 17 minutes (vs. >2 hours for BEVs), allowing for continuous operations.
• HyHAUL commercial framework offers a predictable and stable hydrogen price across the full demonstration period, introducing upside to customers directly as supply increases.
