SURF 'N' TURF

On Eday, Surf 'n' Turf brings together the two power sources - tidal and wind - with equipment to convert and store energy as hydrogen. In Kirkwall (Orkney's capital) Surf 'n' Turf is developing systems to make use of hydrogen and a training facility to establish local skills. It will encourage future hydrogen opportunities - on land and at sea - and secure local employment. The project will also manage shipments of hydrogen from Eday to Kirkwall... We work closely with the European Commission's Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, who have funded the 10.9m BIG HIT project to build upon Surf 'n' Turf's hydrogen network... An innovative new community project in Orkney taking excess electricity generated from renewable energy sources and turning it into hydrogen.
