– HT1 project exploring hydrogen production on offshore wind farms and transportation to shore is concluding
– Project aided in creating a new regulatory regime for offshore hydrogen transportation and storage in the UK
– Vattenfall will continue to explore fossil fuel-free hydrogen production as part of the energy transition
The HT1 Project, which focused on hydrogen production on offshore wind farms and transportation to shore, is coming to a close after almost two years. This project took place at Vattenfall’s European Offshore Wind Development Centre in Aberdeen, Scotland, and played a significant role in creating a new regulatory and consenting regime for offshore hydrogen transportation and storage in the UK. The project was partially funded by DESNZ through the Low Carbon Hydrogen Supply 2 funding program. Despite advancements in decentralised offshore hydrogen production and other industry progress, Vattenfall has decided to conclude the project to focus on exploring fossil fuel-free hydrogen production as part of the energy transition. The findings of the HT1 Project will be shared later in 2024, once the program has been completed. Lisa Christie, Country Manager for Vattenfall in the UK, expressed pride in the project’s role in shaping the future of offshore hydrogen production in the UK and enabling progress towards a thriving market for offshore hydrogen production.
