He hydrogen is gaining ground in the search for more sustainable forms of fuel. There is a platform that generates it in a place where it has never been tried before and is now going to take it to the next level. In our country it is being installed more and more often, so much so that the hydrogen Green will replace fossil fuels in sectors that are difficult to decarbonize.
Every day a multitude of news comes out in which the chemical element number 1 plays the leading role. It is even seen as a viable alternative to petrol and diesel in the automotive sector.
The turnout is remarkable and it can only increase from here. What’s happening with this? platformIt will undoubtedly be a revolution. Many are still trying to come to terms with it.
Oceans of energy heads a joint industrial project of the European Union, whose aim is to expand maritime solar technology to standard sizes of 150 MW. The development of the project Bamboo will enable the construction of gigawatt-scale marine parks within offshore wind farms.
The company, together with fifteen European partners, announced the start of this joint industrial project EU, where marine solar technology extends to standard sizes of 150 MW, allowing the construction of gigawatt-scale marine parks. These basic components became a new standard in offshore energy parks.
This platform will get the most out of energy
The installation of solar farms within offshore wind farms ensures better use of marine space. Likewise, it increases energy production, ensures a more continuous energy flow throughout the seasons and reduces the costs of green electricity production and the energy system.
“The installation of solar farms in offshore wind farms makes better use of marine space, increases energy production, provides more continuous energy throughout the seasons and will reduce the costs of green electricity production and the energy system,” he explains. Oceans of energy in their press release.
The company is a leader in marine solar energy, following the major milestone in 2019 of the world’s first floating offshore solar park in the Dutch North Sea, a “world first” because the solar system is installed in the open sea, not in reservoirs or a long interior.
From that moment on, the company received ‘approval in principle’ from Bureau Veritas, a leading testing, inspection and certification company for your offshore solar system. At the beginning of 2023, it announced that it had been awarded the contract for the installation and work on a floating solar system in the offshore wind farm. Dutch Coast North of 759 MW in the North Sea.
Comparing this initiative to other, more common floating projects, offshore solar energy faces rough seas and waves.
Hydrogen comes from an offshore wind platform
Oceans of energy highlights a number of additional benefits, such as the lower environmental impact thanks to the need for fewer anchors on the seabed or the centralization of the export cable on a larger floating island.
“Marine solar energy is becoming one of the most important contributors to the world’s energy transition North Sea“, he claimed Allard van Hoekenfounder and CEO of Oceans of energy.
He added: “We are starting development of a standardized offshore solar block, which fits between four offshore wind turbines. This allows multi-source maritime energy farms to be optimized without competing for scarce and limited land space.”
Bamboo, the platform that can generate hydrogen via electrolysis
The industrial project Bambooset of EUcomes to solve the issues hampering the advancement of large-scale marine solar systems in new and existing wind farms, including demonstrating the robustness and performance of solar panels in marine conditions.
One of the main goals is to attract funds for the development of a 100-200 MW offshore solar park in an offshore wind farm. waterfall before the end of the decade.

through the project Bamboooffshore wind platforms will be converted into electricity generation platforms hydrogen via electrolysis. That is, it will now be possible to produce hydrogen in the sea, and not directly in reservoirs. This platform It is just one more demonstration that element H is here to stay.
