Global Hydrogen Review,
The Carbon Trust is a joint industry programme which aims to maximise the contribution of offshore wind to a low cost, flexible, predictable, and low carbon energy future which is funded by energy companies, including SSE Renewables, ScottishPower Renewables, Vattenfall, EnBW, Shell, and TotalEnergies.
The H2PD study builds on The Carbon Trust’s commitment to enabling a low-carbon future by fostering collaboration among industry leaders.
Within the H2PD project, H2sea will explore the feasibility and design of offshore hydrogen production platforms of 500 MW and beyond. The comprehensive study is structured into four critical phases:
- Market screening phase: a thorough analysis of emerging technologies for offshore hydrogen production.
- Technical design phase: development of innovative and scalable designs for offshore hydrogen production platforms, focusing on efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability.
- Regulatory phase: examination of the regulatory landscape to ensure compliance with UK and German laws, and international maritime standards, identifying pathways to streamline project approvals.
- Advisory phase: delivery of strategic recommendations to The Carbon Trust, providing actionable insights for future investments and policy frameworks supporting offshore hydrogen initiatives.
Edwin van Drunen, Managing Consultant and CEO at H2sea, commented on the project award: “We are honoured to collaborate with the Carbon Trusts Integrator Programme on this project, with support from our partners HSM and Enersea. The H2PD study will lay the foundation for scalable offshore hydrogen solutions, reinforcing renewable energy innovation on the North Sea. By leveraging offshore wind resources and innovative hydrogen platform designs, H2sea aims to accelerate the deployment of green hydrogen production at scale.”
This study highlights the potential of offshore hydrogen production as a cornerstone of the energy transition. H2sea’s collaboration with the Integrators consortium of industry leaders reflects a shared vision to enable green hydrogen solutions and strengthen the role of renewable energy in combating climate change.
