Kiwa announce the commissioning of its hydrogen production plant and technology demonstration site. The plant is linked to Kiwa’s new test labs by the UK’s first hydrogen distribution pipeline, operated under the Gas Act 1986.
The ability to connect to a continuous flow of odourised hydrogen will be invaluable to manufacturers seeking to understand the performance and longevity of their appliances.
The Kiwa team has designed and managed the build of the hydrogen production plant, which involves Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) of locally produced syngas from a biogas source, and the conversion of Kiwa’s labs to use piped hydrogen.
The knowledge gained is already proving useful to standards developers, market regulators and those looking to convert their own facilities to use bulk hydrogen.

Georgina Orr, Project Manager comments:
This production facility demonstrates the feasibility of producing hydrogen from a locally derived source, which will potentially be of interest to thousands of biogas production sites.
Dr Leighton Holyfield, Project Engineer added:
Kiwa is already taking bookings from technology developers wanting to demonstrate their products such as: hydrogen purifiers, gas analysers, and local carbon capture technologies.
