OX2 and Ingka Investments Requested a License to Develop Offshore Wind Farms, Aiming to Increase Installed Hydrogen Production Capacity.

OX2 and Ingka Investments, the investment arm of the Ingka Group, submitted a construction license application for the Neptunus energy hub, located near the coast of Blekinge in southern Sweden, in accordance with the Economic Zone wind turbines

The Neptunus energy hub is designed to include up to 207 offshore wind turbines, with a maximum height of 420 meters, and will be situated about 50 kilometers from the coast, contributing to the generation of renewable energy and electricity in the region.

Installed Capacity and Electricity Consumption

The application covers a total installed capacity of 3,100 MW. The production is estimated to be around 13-15 TWh annually, which corresponds to the current total electricity consumption of the Blekinge and Skåne regions.

Natura 2000 License and Construction Timeline

OX2 had previously requested a Natura 2000 license for the energy hub. If licenses are obtained, construction could begin in 2030.

Hydrogen Production and Oxygenation of the Baltic Sea

In addition to offshore wind energy, OX2 and Ingka Investments also applied for offshore hydrogen production of up to 370,000 tons annually, as well as a pilot project to oxygenate the Baltic Sea.

Oxygen is a byproduct of hydrogen production and can be used to oxygenate the Baltic Sea, thus contributing to restoring marine life in an area with low oxygen levels.

Offshore Wind Development in Sweden

The Neptunus hub is one of the first next-generation wind farms. By producing renewable energy and hydrogen, Sweden will be able to ensure energy for sectors that cannot be electrified. The oxygen from hydrogen production can also be used to oxygenate the waters at the bottom of the Baltic Sea and improve biodiversity,” said Emelie Zakrisson, head of offshore wind development in Sweden, OX2.

Initial Development Phase and Locations of Wind Farms

The project is in the initial development phase. 1,900 MW are included in OX2’s project development portfolio, which totaled 34,074 MW at the end of the third quarter of 2023.

OX2 and Ingka Investments plan to develop six offshore wind farms in Sweden: Galene on the west coast, Triton and Neptune in southern Sweden, Aurora between the islands of Öland and Gotland, and Pleione and Ran on the east coast of Gotland.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

Grey seal pups were appearing with terrifying marks on Sable Island, and after decades of speculation about sharks and boat propellers, scientists discovered that the danger came from where it was least expected: adult males of their own species during the breeding season.

People are leaving traditional builds that take months and can cost more than R$ 2,500 per sqm, to invest in shipping containers that become 119 sqm modular homes, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen, and glass walls, almost ready to live on the plot.
