Subsea 7 To Explore Pairing Floating Offshore Hydrogen With Floating Wind Farm Off Scotland

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.

This is the sub-heading.

Subsea 7, in collaboration with OneSea Energy, has secured GBP 150,000 (around USD 187,000) in funding from the Scottish government to investigate pairing a large-scale floating hydrogen production system with a floating wind farm offshore Scotland.

Looking at the home page of the OneSea Energy web site, these statements can be read.

• Large scale floating green hydrogen solutions
• OneSea build, lease and operate floating hydrogen production solutions.
• OneSea developed concepts to produce floating green hydrogen in shallow and deep waters.
• These concepts integrate decades of experience in designing, delivering and operating offshore energy production units worldwide.
• OneSea provides full turnkey floating hydrogen production solutions.
• ​The OneSea business model de-risks client’s financial exposure and offers a fixed rate solution that guarantees the delivery of the committed product output.
• The fast-track and plug-and-play nature of our design allows quick deployment of the units with minimum impact to an existing offshore energy generation project.
• OneSea appear to be a company based in the Netherlands.

Note.

1. I like the build, lease and operate concept.
2. Pictures indicate that their production units are based on ships.
3. There appear to be three different sizes of production units.

Their production units seem to serve a similar purpose as a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit does in the offshore oil and gas industry.

OneSea seems to have thought deeply about how to satisfy the offshore hydrogen production market as widely as possibly.

I could see this concept being employed in several places around the UK.
