Green Hydrogen
from Offshore Wind
The Project
900 MW of High-Efficiency Electrolysis powered by 1 GW Offshore Wind
Up to 70.000 Tons of Green Hydrogen per Year
Up to 630.000 Tons of CO2 emissions per year avoided
Contributing to the goal of 10 GW electrolysis capacity by 2030
Supporting decarbonization of emission-intensive industries by delivering green hydrogen to national and international markets
Strengthening local technology leadership
Development Team

Offshore Wind Area
Considered Areas: N16.1, SEN-1
50 x 20 MW Turbines
1.000 MW Installed Capacity
Scalable to 2.000 MW
~300 km Distance to Coast
Offshore Windfarm
• 1.000 MW installed capacity, extension possible
• 15 MW+ turbines
• Monopile-Foundations
• 3.800 GWh yearly net energy production
• 43 % net capacity factor
Platform Concept
• Newest, most cost-efficient H2 production
• Stand-alone concept, no grid connection of windfarm required
• Main Platform with electrical and technical equipment, control center, etc.
• Multiple Sub-Platforms with hydrogen production, liquefaction and storage
• Scalable concept thanks to modular design
Storage and
Offshore Handling
• Liquefaction of hydrogen on sub-platforms
• Storage in spherical domes at-253 °C
• Development and building of reliable GH2 transfer technology for any weather condition from platform to offshore shuttle tanker.
Hydrogen Transport
• Dimension (L x W): 220 m x 32 m
• 100 % Hydrogen energy supply/zero emission
• Highest automation level
• GH2 transport capacity: 5.000 tons
• Two possibilities for transportation of GH2: via pipeline and/or vessel
