H2DO Launches Offshore Wind-to-Hydrogen Study In Dutch North Sea
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.
This is the sub-heading.
Hydrogen of Dutch Origin (H2DO) and its partners have launched a feasibility and concept study for a 30–50 MW offshore green hydrogen project linked to offshore wind generation in the Dutch North Sea.
These two paragraphs add more details.
The project will examine the development of an offshore hydrogen production installation designed to convert electricity generated by offshore wind farms into hydrogen at sea and transport it to shore via pipeline infrastructure.
The study follows H2DO securing support in 2025 under the Dutch government’s Topsector Energie (TSE) programme, which funds energy innovation and green industrial development projects in the Netherlands.
I am sure this is a good way to develop hydrogen production.
I can envisage a time, when hydrogen is needed close to a windy coast, where a standard platform with a large wind turbine on top is erected in a suitable place and a pipe is run to the shore.
- The largest wind turbine is currently 26 MW.
- There are electrolysers, that can use sea water.
- I also suspect that a lot of gas technology can be repurposed to bring hydrogen ashore.
I certainly wish H2DO best of luck in their venture and I’ll be watching their progress.
