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. from an offshore wind farm—the process of producing hydrogen from water (electrolysis) can be decarbonized. We’ve seen this happen in offshore wind.
