Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

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. And Germany isn’t the only country investing in hydrogen technologies. That won’t be easy, given the extremely dynamic environment these platforms will have to function in.

But up to 30% of the generated power may not be put into the grid and therefore could be available for hydrogen production (up to 3,600 GWh/a). Two recently opened projected in Germany, Dr Sames pointed out, have demonstrated how using hydrogen to store surplus energy was already a viable technology.
