Seanovent Engineering AS and Strohm have entered a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on offshore wind-to-hydrogen developments to advance green energy transition.
The partnership will focus on developing hydrogen transfer solutions to improve the distributed green hydrogen concept, where green hydrogen is generated in each wind turbine generator and transported to shore via a subsea pipe infrastructure.
The partners recognised the value of collaborating in the offshore wind-to-hydrogen space, where characteristics of Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) combine with optimized connectors and other subsea components designs to deliver a hydrogen transfer solution.
The flexibility of TCP also facilitates finding the optimal configuration for operators and integrators in the growing offshore green hydrogen production industry.
Caroline Justet, business growth executive EiT at Strohm, commente regarding the partnership:
[The collaboration] will enable the rapid acceleration of safe offshore wind-to-hydrogen projects by providing more reliable and cost effective solutions. This in turn will lower the Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) and make distributed green hydrogen production offshore more competitive, sooner
Moreover, Steinar Hestetun, CTO of Seanovent, added that “more now than ever, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions to be adopted to support the industry’s net zero emission goals.”
