A German research project has successfully connected a wind turbine to two electrolysers, opening the potential for direct hydrogen production at offshore wind facilities.
The H2 Mare project – funded by Germany’s research ministry (BMBF) – saw Siemens Gamesa and Fraunhofer IWES connect two electrolysers to a wind turbine at a test site in Denmark to overcome complex power fluctuations in hydrogen production.
It comes as the first step of plans to harness ideal offshore wind conditions to produce green hydrogen directly, with hopes of replicating the land-based system at sea.
