In this phase, which received European funds for the innovative nature of the research, an analysis of various configurations for an offshore green hydrogen generation module was created, where electrolysis is performed using electricity generated by offshore wind farms, according to the project leaders from EDP.
According to the company, the production of offshore wind energy is expected to grow significantly by 2030, and the BEHYOND project demonstrates that there is great potential for dual renewable energy production in the same location, creating synergies in infrastructure, grid points, and energy transport cables to the “mainland.”
EDP Project Will Depend On Investments From Other Companies
According to EDP, the configuration studied in the project can be installed worldwide, generating and transferring green hydrogen on a large scale. This technological development is pioneering in the growth of the fuel value chain in the context of a blue economy and could be the solution to expand the competitiveness of offshore wind farms.
The first phase of the company’s project concluded that economic feasibility will be achieved with advancements in the value chain and the green hydrogen industry, as well as through investments from companies positioning themselves in the market, supplemented by innovation support funds.
Increased Demand For Renewable Energies Will Enable The Project
According to EDP, another way to enable the project will be by encouraging the industry to accelerate the transition to renewable energies, expanding the demand for projects like this.
The company coordinated the project through EDP NEW R&D and EDP Innovation and was also responsible for the strategic assessment of the offshore wind energy and green hydrogen market, defining business cases, and the technological innovation necessary to bring these solutions to market.
The project brings together the company and TechnipFMC, a leading company in the creation of offshore engineering projects and solutions, the research centers CEiiA, the University of South-Eastern Norway, and WavEC-Offshore Renewables.
