Belgium engineering firm Tractebel, part of Engie, is developing a concept for an offshore platform that would convert power produced from offshore wind farms into hydrogen using electrolysis.
“Delivering up to 400 MW, this kind of plant exceeds the output of previous technologies many times over. It could already be put into practice today, for example in the North Sea,” Tractebel Engineering said this week, adding that H2 is an efficient energy storage medium that can balance out seasonal fluctuations in renewable energy sources.
