Apollo Secures Contract for Hydrogen Offshore Production Project in Scotland
Key Ideas
- Apollo has secured a Phase 2 concept definition contract from the Net Zero Technology Centre for the Hydrogen Offshore Production (HOP2) project in Scotland.
- The project aims to progress the design of a 500MW offshore hydrogen production facility using existing oil and gas infrastructure, funded by the Scottish Government's Just Transition Fund.
- Apollo's scope involves developing detailed designs for topsides, integrating electrolysis systems, water treatment, and hydrogen compression, focusing on safety and environmental compliance.
- The initiative demonstrates how repurposed legacy assets can contribute to large-scale offshore green hydrogen production, positioning the U.K. as a global hydrogen leader in the transition to net zero.
Apollo, an engineering and energy advisory consultancy, has secured a Phase 2 concept definition contract from the Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) for the Hydrogen Offshore Production (HOP2) project in Scotland. The project aims to advance the design of a 500MW offshore hydrogen production facility by utilizing the existing Ninian Central Platform substructure. Funded by the Scottish Government's Just Transition Fund, the HOP2 project is a flagship initiative demonstrating the feasibility of large-scale offshore green hydrogen production. Apollo's responsibilities include developing detailed designs for topsides, integrating electrolysis systems, water treatment, and hydrogen compression, while addressing safety and environmental challenges for compliance and sustainability. The partnership between Apollo and NZTC highlights the potential of repurposing legacy infrastructure to enhance hydrogen production and support the transition to net zero emissions. The project signifies a step forward in establishing the U.K. as a global hydrogen leader through affordable, efficient hydrogen production at scale, utilizing existing oil and gas infrastructure in the energy transition.
