Floating Wind and H2 are a natural match, but not in the simple way often portrayed

“After nearly three decades in which offshore wind energy pioneers have perfected the commercial viability of turbines on fixed structure foundations, we are on the cusp of a surge in capturing the vast untapped wind resources in harsher and deeper waters offshore – using floating technology. Such resources far exceed future electricity demand in many countries and are worth the pursuit. However, harsher and deeper waters also often imply further offshore, putting cost pressures on energy transmission back to shore.”

R V Ahilan, LOC Group CEO, discusses in Recharge Opinion, the energy and market potential of hydrogen production from deep-water floating wind projects, looking at its potential merits in changing the way we store and transport energy, and even to effect change in marine decarbonisation, by powering ships.
