World’s First Offshore Hydrogen Production Project Yields First Kilograms Of Green Hydrogen

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

This is the sub-heading.

The offshore hydrogen production platform that Lhyfe is testing in France, named Sealhyfe, began producing its first kilograms of hydrogen on 20 June after it was towed last month to the SEM-REV offshore test site which is connected to BW Ideol’s floating wind turbine Floatgen.

These two paragraphs introduce the article.

Sealhyfe is capable of producing up to 400 kilograms of hydrogen per day.

With the start-of-production milestone now reached, the platform has entered the second phase of testing, which focuses on producing hydrogen in offshore conditions, after eight months of being tested at a quay in the Port of Saint-Nazaire, starting in September 2022.

The setup features a 1 MW electrolyser.

This may only be a small start, but I do feel that we’ll see more offshore hydrogen production.

According to Lhyfe And Centrica To Develop Offshore Renewable Green Hydrogen In The UK, Centrica and Lhyfe  seem to be co-operating.

It should be noted that this year, I’ve written seven posts involving Offshore Hydrogen Production.
