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.

EU Innovation Fund grants €108M to RWE’s waste-to-hydrogen project FUREC

Green Car Congress

For comparison: This is equivalent to the output of a 700-megawatt offshore wind farm with coupled electrolyzers. The CO 2 released during the hydrogen production is captured and can be stored or possibly used as a raw material by industry in the future. The plant is expected to produce 54,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year.

Intermountain Power Agency orders MHPS JAC Gas Turbine technology for renewable-hydrogen energy hub, operated by LA DWP

Green Car Congress

The power plant is connected to the Los Angeles power grid by an existing high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission line. The hydrogen will be stored in an underground salt dome at the site, using technology that has been in operation for the past 30 years to supply hydrogen to US refineries in the Gulf Coast of the United States.
