RENEWABLE HYDROGEN WHICH IS PRODUCED IN LARGE QUANTITIES OFFSHORE WILL FORM THE CORNERSTONE IN REACHING NET ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2050.
THE OYSTER PROJECT WILL ENABLE OFFSHORE, GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION TO BE GENERATED FROM OFFSHORE WIND AT COMPETITIVE COSTS, UNLOCKING THE BULK MARKETS FOR RENEWABLE HYDROGEN. THIS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER CO2 EMISSIONS WHILE FACILITATING THE ENERGY TRANSITION INTO A FULLY RENEWABLE SYSTEM
Concept
To advance the technology needed for future offshore hydrogen production, The OYSTER project will lead to the development of a combined wind turbine and electrolyser system designed for operation in marine environments
The project bring together somve of leading players within renewable hydrogen. Electrolyser specialists, ITM Power, will work with Ørsted (the world’s largest offshore wind developer) and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (a leading wind turbine manufacturer) to develop and test an MW-scale fully marinised electrolyser, in a shoreside pilot trial. The project will be coordinated by Element Energy.
