Offshore Wind to Hydrogen Project Secures GBP 7.5 Million Funding

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on Offshore Wind.

This is the first two paragraphs.

The next phase of Gigastack, a renewable hydrogen project, has secured GBP 7.5 million funding as part of the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Hydrogen Supply Competition.

The Gigastack project, led by ITM Power, Ørsted, Phillips 66 Limited, and Element Energy, will show how renewable hydrogen derived from offshore wind can support the UK’s 2050 net-zero greenhouse gas emission target.

Points from the article.

1. A 100 MW system will be designed.
2. Modules with a capacity of 20 MW will be used.
3. Energy will be delivered directly from Ørsted’s Hornsea Two wind farm.
4. Some of the hydrogen produced will be used in Phillips 66 Humber Refinery.
5. ITM Power will trial their new electolyser and automatic manufacturing.

This seems an ambitious project.
