Gigastack renewable hydrogen from offshore wind project advances to next phase; 100MW electrolyzer system

Green Car Congress

million for the next phase of Gigastack, a new renewable hydrogen project, as part of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Hydrogen Supply Competition. Producing hydrogen has traditionally been associated with high carbon emissions, but by using renewable electricity—e.g., Earlier post.).

EDP, TechnipFMC and partners to develop a concept study for green hydrogen production from offshore wind: BEHYOND

Green Car Congress

To increase the share of hydrogen in the final energy demand to enlarge the low-carbon energy sources share in the global energy mix and promote the environmental sustainability. The goal is to create a unique concept that can be standardized and implemented worldwide, allowing for large-scale hydrogen production.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.
