PosHydon project nearing first hydrogen production
In The Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that the hydrogen project PosHydon is entering its final stage with the first hydrogen expected to be produced in the second half of 2024. PosHYdon, an initiative of Nexstep, a Dutch association for decommissioning and reuse, and TNO, a Netherlands organization for applied scientific research, involves the installation of a hydrogen production plant including a Nel PEM electrolyzer on the Neptune Energy-operated Q13a-A platform, which is a live oil and gas platform. According to the report, the pilot aims to integrate three energy systems in the North Sea: offshore wind, offshore gas and offshore hydrogen by producing hydrogen from seawater on the Q13-a platform in the Dutch North Sea. Moreover, the aim of the pilot is to gain experience of integrating working energy systems at sea and the production of hydrogen in an offshore environment.
