Latent Drive has secured a £630,000 Innovate UK grant to trial its SeaStack electrolyser at Portland Port, producing green hydrogen directly from seawater to fuel a harbour patrol vessel.
SeaStack, the world’s first commercial direct seawater-to-hydrogen electrolyser, eliminates the need for desalination and rare metals, making green hydrogen cheaper and more scalable. This breakthrough technology could position the UK’s South Coast as a clean energy hub, contributing to the 60 million tonnes of green hydrogen required annually for the maritime sector to reach net zero by 2050.
