Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog!
Did anyone
happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s Daily Update Newsletter on February
1, 2024, their article titled, “Sealhyfe hydrogen platform passes initial
offshore tests”? In the article, it spoke
on the subject of green hydrogen, and in this instance, it was a renewable
energy offshore platform. Lhyfe’s
platform, Sealhyfe, returned to port in November 2023 after a 14-month
experiment at sea. Sealhyfe was stationed
in two places off the Atlantic coast of France and quayside. The experiment was the next step to show how hydrogen
may be produced offshore under excessive conditions like hurricanes and normal
daily sea conditions and to help streamline the processes and operations. Sealhyfe operated during the storm called
Ciaran, and they collected data which will help in future development of the
offshore hydrogen industry. Most
importantly Lhyfe worked with the French government to help determine
the operating rules for this type of operating unit which may be used at
sea. Sealhyfe was considered a successful
experiment, and it was the next step to getting to their future goal of commercial
offshore green hydrogen. This long-term experiment
will help aid in the future development of green hydrogen offshore industry, and
its data will help HOPE (Hydrogen Offshore Production for Europe) a project aimed
at producing 4 tonnes of green hydrogen a day off the coast of Belgium which Lhyfe
is involved with as well as they are involved in a nine-member consortium helping
develop this future industry. If you would like to read more of the Oil
