Results of feasibility study for offshore hydrogen test facility
Integrating hydrogen technology - electrolysis, fuel cells, storage and compression - in offshore wind farms, offshore sub-stations or energy islands provides an answer to the need for energy diversification. The aim of the feasibility study that Sirris set up with Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI) is to determine the requirements for a facility to test the components of this type of infrastructure such that its reliability and performance can be guaranteed for a service life of 25 to 40 years. Belgian companies aim to develop and manufacture these components, but do not have the necessary testing infrastructure. The ETF-HOH2TEST feasibility study maps out these needs, so that the feasibility of an offshore hydrogen test facility can be investigated.
