Hydrogen trial at wind farm Trump tried to stop

Scotland

“The project offers a unique opportunity to test the viability of offshore production of green hydrogen and help move towards commercial scale operations and the associated positive environmental benefits that come from this,” Vattenfall said in a scoping report submitted to Scottish authorities.

Vattenfall switched on the EOWDC in 2018 after a years-long legal battle with former US President Donald Trump, who objected to the impact of the turbines on views from his luxury golf course.

Offshore production of green H2 is a hot topic in the emerging renewable hydrogen sector, with work underway by the likes of Siemens Gamesa to integrate electrolysis with turbines and several initiatives to site production on platforms taking power from nearby wind arrays.
