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.

Topsoe to provide technology for first commercial size dynamic green ammonia plant in China

Green Car Congress

The green ammonia will replace approximately 850,000 tons of coal and help reduce more than 2 million tons of CO 2 from being emitted to the atmosphere every year, along with 6.4 The clean power from wind turbines will be connected directly to the electrolysis unit making it more cost-effective than if involving a hydrogen storage.
