Energy Island for producing hydrogen

Friday, October 4 2024

Genneral – Hydrogen

A new study from Fraunhofer IEE, a leading and independent applied research institute, concludes that energy islands for offshore production of hydrogen can save more than EUR 4 billion annually for Germany alone.

The study specifically examines the economic effects on the German and European energy system by introducing offshore hydrogen production on two energy islands connected with 10 GW offshore wind each and located +150 kilometers from the shore.

The study further concludes that producing hydrogen offshore is more efficient than onshore production due to significantly reduction in energy loss and transportation costs of the electricity produced.
