## Description

With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield is establishing a flagship national Translational Energy Research Centre \(TERC\) and is looking to procure and integrate into a mini-grid system a range of bioenergy and renewable energy generating equipment Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage \(CCUS\), fuel cells and electrolysers\. Hydrogen is a fundamental element in the transition to low carbon \(or hydrogen\) economy and hydrogen generation will form a key part of the integrated infrastructure in the Centre\. This capability will support R&D activities associated hydrogen utilisation as fuel and/ or energy store, and as a transformational feedstock\. The hydrogen generated will be utilised: \(i\) as fuel for a polymer electrolyte membrane \(PEM\) fuel cell and/or fuel-cell-based micro combined heat and power \(CHP\) systems; \(ii\) additive to conventional fuels for energy generation; and \(iii\) for carbon dioxide utilisation applications such as liquid/gaseous fuel generation\. Therefore, as part of the equipment portfolio, we are looking to procure an electrolyser capable of generating ≥ 20 Nm3/hr \(preferably ≥ 30 Nm3/hr\) of Hydrogen and associated hydrogen storage of minimum 300Nm3/h\. The closing date for tender returns is at 12 noon on 3rd June 2019 \(UK time\) Additional information: All tender documents, correspondence & tender returns must be conducted via the In-tend site, through the link provided above\.
