Offshore green hydrogen production from wind energy: Critical review and perspective

Newcastle University

Indexed incrossref

Abstract

Hydrogen is envisaged to play a major role in decarbonizing our future energy systems. Hydrogen is ideal for storing renewable energy over longer durations, strengthening energy security. It can be used to provide electricity, renewable heat, power long-haul transport, shipping, and aviation, and in decarbonizing several industrial processes. The cost of green hydrogen produced from renewable via electrolysis is dominated by the cost of electricity used. Operating electrolyzers only during periods of low electricity prices will limit production capacity and underutilize high investment costs in electrolyzer plants. Hydrogen production from deep offshore wind energy is a promising solution to unlock affordable…
