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.

MAN Energy Solutions and Fraunhofer IST analyze options for cost-efficient hydrogen supply to Salzgitter industrial cluster

Green Car Congress

The study’s calculations show that—if used directly without further conversion—local hydrogen can be economical and even cheaper than imports from 2030 onwards. In the case of direct use, local hydrogen has an economic advantage due to the elimination of transport and conversion costs. —Marc Grünewald.

Expleo develops closed-loop, e-methanol fuel cell solution for global shipping

Green Car Congress

Expleo modeled its system-of-systems solution on the multi-tasking Bibby Wavemaster 1 , a vessel used to service offshore wind farms. The green hydrogen in the solution can be produced at offshore wind farms, from surplus electrical energy or supplied in-port, ensuring the closed-loop remains as sustainable as possible. million (US$1.7

Porsche, Siemens Energy and partners advance climate-neutral eFuels development; Haru Oni pilot in Chile

Green Car Congress

Electrolyzers will use wind power to produce green hydrogen. The Haru Oni pilot project in Magallanes Province takes advantage of the excellent wind conditions in southern Chile to produce climate-neutral fuel with the aid of green wind power. Enel is a co-funder of the plant, with a focus on wind power and electrolysis.
