Live Hydrogen demonstrations at H2SEA stand during Offshore Energy

LiH2SEA demonstrates live hydrogen production

During the Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference, H2SEA presented live hydrogen production demonstrations at their joint exhibition booth with sister company Enersea.

To showcase the principles of hydrogen production, H2SEA developed a demonstration model of the electrolyser process used in its platform concepts. Tom Evertse, Project Engineer Hydrogen at H2SEA, conducted the demonstrations, providing attendees with a tangible understanding of H2SEA’s hydrogen solutions.

H2SEA has developed several offshore hydrogen platform concepts, with capacities ranging from 50 MW to 1,000 MW. These platforms are designed to produce green hydrogen using electrolysis and aiming for high reliability and cost-effectiveness. H2SEA emphasises simplicity in design to balance operational and capital expenditure.

EBN and H2SEA host workshop on Underground Hydrogen Storage

Energie Beheer Nederland (EBN) and H2SEA hosted a highly informative workshop on Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) at EBN’s office in Utrecht on October 10th, attracting approximately 40 industry professionals. The workshop facilitated in-depth discussions and explored the future of underground hydrogen storage, a crucial component in the energy transition.

The morning session featured presentations from EBN and H2SEA. EBN provided a technical introduction to the underground characteristics of reservoirs, while H2SEA delivered a comprehensive overview of topside facilities, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges of underground hydrogen storage. Both organisations presented insights from their joint research on hydrogen storage.

In the afternoon, participants engaged in interactive brainstorming sessions, discussing innovative strategies and potential pathways for the development of underground hydrogen storage.

The workshop was highly successful, generating numerous in-depth questions from industry experts and providing valuable insights from H2SEA and EBN.

H2SEA showcasing at Wind Energy Hamburg

H2SEA is pleased to announce its participation at Wind Energy Hamburg, taking place from September 24-27. We will be exhibiting at stand 242.09 in hall B7.

Throughout the event, H2SEA will provide insights into its groundbreaking concepts for green offshore hydrogen production and our involvement in key demonstration projects.

We invite attendees to visit our stand to learn more about our initiatives and the vital role offshore hydrogen can play in advancing the energy transition.

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.
