AFC Energy has announced that it has signed an agreement with Peel Environmental Ltd to assess the techno-economic feasibility of the UK’s largest hydrogen (H2) fuel cell district at Peel’s Protos industrial park.
Protos is located between Manchester, Liverpool and Chester and will deliver 250 hectares of industrial development in the North West of England.
AFC Energy will conduct the assessment in collaboration with Peel and other third party partners to review a range of H2 sources and offtake arrangements and work with local stakeholders that will see a proposed phasing of fuel cell projects at Protos commencing at 1MW through to an estimated 35MW to 50MW of installed capacity at the site.
