Offshore wind and hydrogen
The ambition is to establish a multi-gigawatt wind farm in the North Sea connected to an onshore hydrogen facility from where the hydrogen will be distributed through the European hydrogen backbone to industrial clusters in the Netherlands and Northern Europe.Â
By 2040, the aim is to upscale to 10 GW of installed capacity combining onshore and offshore electrolysis. This would result in an annual production of up to 0.75 million tonnes of green hydrogen.
In addition to its plans for the onshore electrolysis plant, the consortium is investigating the feasibility of producing hydrogen offshore and has retained Ramboll to design and describe feasible concepts
