Hydrogen, Power-to-X, direct air capture, offshore wind and maritime fuel projects developed by B9 Energy and its partners, newest first.
SmartDAC direct air capture
In development
A machine that captures CO₂ from the air using membranes, built by a consortium including B9 with £3M from DESNZ.
Flow-field electrolyser
Technology delivered, Q1 2025
An electrolyser design with no platinum-group metals and 3D-printed flow plates, aiming to cut the cost of green hydrogen.
Maritime Power-to-X (NI/GB Green Shipping Corridor)
Feasibility study and pre-deployment trials completed, 2024–25
Green methanol for freight ferries between Northern Ireland and north-west England, with DFDS, Larne Harbour, Mutual Energy and Teesside University.
Ulster Hydrogen Valley
Concept, published May 2023
A concept for 3.45GWe of electrolysis fed by offshore wind, with hydrogen stored in the Islandmagee salt caverns and e-methanol as the first route to market.
Ballylumford Power-to-X
FEED study completed. The project could not proceed because of grid connection dates.
A 20MWe electrolyser at Ballylumford Power Station, designed with Mutual Energy and Islandmagee Energy and funded with about £1M from BEIS.
First Flight Wind
Shelved in 2014
A 600MW offshore wind farm proposed by DONG Energy (now Ørsted), RES and B9, and the only Northern Ireland offshore wind project to get a development licence from The Crown Estate.
