Netherlands and Norway Collaborate on Innovative Floating Green Ammonia Plant Project
Key Ideas
- The OFFSET project, led by SwitcH2 and BW Offshore, advances with a technical feasibility study by thyssenkrupp Uhde for a floating green ammonia plant.
- The consortium includes MARIN, TU Delft, and Strohm, aiming to develop an industrial-scale floating green hydrogen and ammonia production facility by 2029.
- The project integrates various technologies and expertise, such as seawater electrolysis, non-corrosive TCP technology, wave basin testing, and offshore ammonia production.
- Supported by a €3 million Dutch government grant and approval from DNV, the project is set to facilitate offshore ammonia production using renewable energy sources by 2029.
The OFFSET project, a collaboration between Netherlands-based SwitcH2 BV, Norway-based BW Offshore, and other consortium members, is making significant progress in the development of a floating green ammonia plant. thyssenkrupp Uhde recently delivered a technical feasibility study for the project, leveraging its expertise in ammonia synthesis technologies. The consortium includes MARIN, TU Delft, and Strohm, each contributing unique capabilities to the project. The goal is to establish an industrial-scale floating green hydrogen and ammonia production facility based on the FPSO concept, with plans to connect it to a wind farm by 2027. The produced hydrogen and ammonia will be transported using innovative methods such as Thermoplastic Composite Pipe. SwitcH2 oversees the project development, while BW Offshore is responsible for design aspects. TU Delft focuses on seawater electrolysis research, and Strohm provides non-corrosive TCP technology. MARIN will conduct hydrodynamic tests. With financial support from the Dutch government and design approval from DNV, the project aims to enable offshore ammonia production using renewable sources by 2029.
