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.
- I like the build, lease and operate concept.
- Pictures indicate that their production units are based on ships.
- 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.
Ocergy Floaters Selected For 100 MW Project Off Scotland
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Splash247.com.
These two paragraphs outline Ocergy’s OCG-Wind foundation technology.
The Salamander floating offshore wind project, a joint venture between Simply Blue Group, Ørsted and Subsea 7, has awarded the pre-FEED (front-end engineering design) deal to Ocergy for its OCG-Wind foundation technology.
The US-based Ocergy has developed a novel semisub floater called OCG-Wind, to support turbines larger than 10 MW, designed for the development of large-scale wind farms. It is targeting a levelised cost of energy (LCOE) that can start to drive reductions in floating offshore wind farms to eventually be competitive with fixed offshore wind farms.
Note.
- There is a picture showing two turbines on OCG-Wind floats.
- Salamander is intended to be an INTOG project of 100 MW.
- The floaters are expected to be fabricated at Global Energy Group’s Port of Nigg.
- ERM’s Dolphyn electrolysis, desalination and hydrogen production concept is also planned for the project.
The Salamander project is certainly going for a lot of innovation.
