Pairing U.S. offshore wind with hydrogen production has the potential to meet at least 75% of the nation's total demand for green hydrogen, according to new research. Using hydrogen can increase the utilization rates of offshore wind from an anemic 1% to 22% of its technical resource potential, according to Cornell University researchers Fengqi You and Rishi Kaashyap Balaji. Coupled with a study from NREL, which showed how developing offshore wind power projects in the Great Lakes could provide nearly 600GW of renewable power, the two studies show how to take offshore wind utilization (potentially from a single geography) to over 22% of its technical resource potential. (See the National Renewable Energy Laboratory study here: https://hubs.la/Q02KZXvZ0.) The Cornell researchers believe prices for hydrogen produced from offshore wind could come in between $2.50–$7.00 per kg H2 and life cycle greenhouse gas emissions below the 4 kg CO2e per kg H2 benchmark at the coast for hydrogen produced offshore. And new funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) could accelerate the development. The Wind Energies Technologies Office is offering $50 million in financing to build out offshore wind capacity in the country.

Gas transmission operators 🇩🇪🇵🇱🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪🇫🇮 complete ✅ Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor pre-feasibility study. The #Nordic and #Baltic region provides significant renewable hydrogen potential identified within the pre-feasibility study at the amount of approx. 27.1 million tons (Mt) of renewable #hydrogen production (based on combined onshore and offshore wind and solar) by 2040. This creates a large hydrogen market creation and export potential towards continental Europe which the NBHC aims to address. By 2040, the corridor is projected to transport up to 2.7 million tons (Mt) of #renewable hydrogen annually between the countries. The pre-feasibility study indicated that the NBHC can be one of the first operational cross-border hydrogen pipelines in #Europe. The NBHC pipeline is currently planned to be 48 inches (1,200 mm) in diameter, with several compressor stations and spanning approximately 2,500 km.

🌊 Towards net-zero: Unlocking the potential of offshore hydrogen systems Offshore wind energy holds incredible promise for renewable hydrogen production, offering vast potential and consistent capacity factors. But what does it take to make this vision a reality? In their latest blog, Alexandr Akimov, Mostafa Rezaei, PhD and Evan Gray explore the techno-economic feasibility of offshore hydrogen systems, focusing on Australia's vast offshore wind resources. The article highlights key findings, such as strategies to achieve cost-competitive hydrogen production, the role of efficiency optimisation, and lessons from global examples like Japan’s Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (FH2R) and South Korea's offshore hydrogen projects. 📌 Key insights include: 🔹 The importance of rapid scaling and policy support to achieve a levelised cost of hydrogen below AUD 3/kg by 2040. 🔹 The critical role of energy management strategies to optimise electrolysis efficiency. 🔹 How offshore wind and hydrogen production can become integral pillars of a sustainable energy future. As the world moves towards net-zero, integrating offshore wind with hydrogen production could be a game-changer for renewable energy. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gV54S4Wd #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #HydrogenProduction #Sustainability #NetZero

Exploring the Future of Offshore Hydrogen Production. A Deep Dive into the Latest Developments. The global energy landscape is undergoing a transformative shift, with a growing emphasis on cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. Among these, offshore wind power has emerged as a pivotal technology, offering a reliable means to decarbonise the energy system. As the world intensifies its efforts to reduce carbon emissions, the integration of offshore hydrogen production with wind power is gaining traction as a critical solution. The latest report by TNO provides an analysis of the current state of #offshorehydrogen production, offering valuable insights into its potential, challenges, and the technological advancements driving this field forward.

Texas, historically known for its oil and gas, is now on track to become a global leader in hydrogen production. Thanks to its natural gas reserves, renewable energy sources, and strong infrastructure, the state already produces 3.6 million metric tons of hydrogen annually—about one-third of the U.S. total. Ambitious projects, like Green Hydrogen International’s Hydrogen City, aim to revolutionize energy production. Planned for Duval County, it could eventually produce up to 60 GW of green hydrogen by 2030, using wind and solar power, and store massive amounts of energy in salt caverns. With initiatives like these, Texas is shaping the future of clean, renewable energy. #HydrogenEconomy #GreenEnergy #TexasHydrogen #RenewableFuel #CleanEnergyTransition

📘Get to know more about common #offshore and #hydrogen #infrastructure planning in our latest #H2EQuarterly issue! 🌀Offshore hydrogen is a relatively #new modality for #H2 #generation, which consists of producing H2 in an offshore environment, capturing the electricity produced by offshore wind turbines or, possibly, ocean or tidal energy. 🌊This #solution can take advantage of economies of scale, facilitate access to more powerful and stable sources of #renewableenergy (#RES), and enable offshore renewable energy to grow massively as it could remove its dependency on high-voltage infrastructure. 📈Despite still being in an early stage of development, it is a promising #production method to be pursued in #Europe. 🔍Learn more about this #technology in our magazine ➡ https://lnkd.in/eXjSfzJY
