H2sea from the Netherlands announced its selection by the Carbon Trusts Integrator Programme to carry out the H2PD (Offshore Hydrogen Production Platform Design) project.
This initiative marks a significant milestone in advancing offshore hydrogen production technologies.
The Integrator 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 leading renewable energy and 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.
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 pioneering 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.”
