The project will start in 1Q23 and it aims at testing blends of up to 10 vol.% green hydrogen. This will be one of the first cases where green hydrogen is used to lessen the carbon footprint of an existing gas fuelled Wärtsilä power plant.
CIP has proposed to build an artificial island dedicated to the large-scale production of green hydrogen from offshore wind, in the Danish part of the North Sea.
The proposed FFI green hydrogen production plant would enable the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors of the North American economy and support the development of a Pacific Northwest green hydrogen hub, potentially creating hundreds of new local jobs.
The green hydrogen is produced with surplus solar power from the summer using an electrolyser and converted back into electricity in the winter.
