Innovative Partnership for Industrial-Scale Floating Green Ammonia Plant
Key Ideas
- The OFFSET project, led by SwitcH2 BV and BW Offshore, advances with a technical feasibility study conducted by thyssenkrupp Uhde for a floating green ammonia plant.
- The consortium also includes MARIN, TU Delft, and Strohm, focusing on offshore production of hydrogen and ammonia using FPSO technology and innovative processes.
- Key contributions include research into seawater electrolysis, development of non-corrosive hydrogen storage solutions, and hydrodynamic testing of the final design.
- Supported by a €3 million grant from the Dutch government and principles approval from DNV, the project targets offshore ammonia production with renewable energy by 2029.
The OFFSET floating green ammonia plant project, led by SwitcH2 BV and BW Offshore, has made significant progress with the completion of a technical feasibility study delivered by thyssenkrupp Uhde. This innovative project aims to establish an industrial-scale floating green hydrogen and ammonia production facility utilizing the FPSO concept. Collaborating partners such as MARIN, TU Delft, and Strohm bring expertise in offshore engineering, research and development, and advanced technology solutions. TU Delft's focus on seawater electrolysis and Strohm's non-corrosive TCP technology for hydrogen storage are key components of the project.
The project, supported by a €3 million grant from the Dutch government and backed by design principles approval from DNV, is set to revolutionize offshore ammonia production by leveraging renewable energy sources. By linking the facility with an offshore wind farm and employing innovative transportation methods, the project aims to pave the way for sustainable energy practices. With a target completion date of 2029, the OFFSET project signifies a significant advancement in the realm of offshore green energy production.
