H2SEA presents at IQPC Conference in Bremen

H2SEA is proud to announce that Edwin van Drunen, Managing Director, will be presenting at the IQPC Offshore Substations & Foundations conference, held in Bremen from 24 to 28 August.

During his presentation, Edwin will provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities related to offshore hydrogen systems, including the key elements involved and their sizes in different system arrangements. He will also address how these systems can be controlled amidst wind variability and the considerations that must be made for both off-grid and grid-connected configurations.

Additionally, Edwin will participate in the panel discussion on Offshore Wind to H2: Decentralised vs. Centralised Hydrogen Production together with Anders Bach Andersen, Senior Product Market Specialist at Vestas Wind Systems.

The discussion will focus on the impact of decentralised production on foundation and platform design, as well as an analysis of the costs and risks associated with centralised offshore production. The discussion will also explore the infrastructural requirements and potential impact on powertrain technology.The Annual Offshore Wind 2024 conference, organized by IQPC, marks its 13th consecutive year and continues its tradition as a premier event in the offshore wind industry.

H2SEA lectures at H2Makers event at TU Delft

Tom Evertse, Technical Consultant Offshore Hydrogen at H2SEA, presented on the H2Makers Meet-up at TU Delft themed Offshore Hydrogen Production on June 27.

The event focused on technologies and requirements for offshore hydrogen production, drawing significant interest from Energy companies, Regulatory bodies, Hydrogen start-ups and South Holland’s manufacturing industry.

Evertse outlined the technical challenges associated with four main hydrogen production subsystems, namely electrical systems, water treatment, cooling systems and hydrogen treatment. Attendees posed numerous technical and regulatory questions, fostering a productive dialogue about the future of hydrogen energy.

“I’m thrilled to present to such a proactive audience said Evertse. It’s only through industry-wide collaboration that we can solve these challenges”.

The event featured contributions from TU Delft, SwitcH2, and PosHYdon, each detailing their progress and challenges in offshore hydrogen.

The H2Makers Meet-Up underscored the importance of cross-sector collaboration and continuous learning in advancing offshore hydrogen production.
