The study includes the proposed 30-50mw offshore green hydrogen installation, including its export to shore via pipeline. It will also work on demonstrating:
- Permit-ability in the Dutch and European regulatory context
- Alignment with future circularity, reuse and resilience requirements; spatial planning and co‑use of the North Sea space
- Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin requirements
- Marketability and commercial structuring options.
“It’s great to see that all core partners in this study are now on board. This study is a concrete step to make the ambitions of the Hamburg Declaration real at midsized scale: unlocking more offshore wind; reducing spatial and water pressure on land; and building a resilient, European hydrogen value chain. With this group of partners, we are laying the groundwork here in the Netherlands for projects that can move straight into FEED and be replicated and scaled across the North Sea. By taking green hydrogen production offshore and close to the wind source, we turn a grid challenge into an energy security opportunity,” said H2DO’s Managing Partner, Patrice Hijsterborg.
