We’re excited to share details of another major milestone in our commercial pipeline: WD HydroTech was selected, following a competitive tender, to supply a 100kW electrolyser for a flagship demonstration at the Net Zero Research Village (NeRV) in Gateshead, led by Northern Gas Networks (NGN). The project is scheduled to begin installation in 2026. 

For years, green hydrogen has been described as “the fuel of the future.” But something fundamental has shifted. We have now reached a point where political priorities, market demand, and technology maturity have aligned in a way the energy sector has never seen before. Hydrogen is no longer a distant vision — it is becoming a practical, deployable solution, and the companies building early infrastructure will define how this sector grows.

From a garage prototype in 2021 to an Innovate UK-funded breakthrough, we're building a new kind of electrolyser. With £350k in support, a dedicated team, and cutting-edge design, we’ve reached TRL 5 and are gearing up for full-scale demonstration by 2026. What began as Dr. Nigel Williamson’s vision is now on track to help shape the future of green hydrogen.

At WD HydroTech, we’re developing technology that makes producing and storing green hydrogen simpler, cleaner, and more efficient. But what exactly does that mean — and why does hydrogen matter?

We have decided to locate our research and development facility in South Yorkshire at the AMP Technology Centre.
