Apollo, an engineering and energy advisory consultancy, has been awarded a Phase 2 concept definition contract from the Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) for the Hydrogen Offshore Production (HOP2) project. This initiative aims to progress the design of a 500MW offshore hydrogen production facility, leveraging existing oil and gas infrastructure. Supported by the Scottish Government's Just Transition Fund, the HOP2 project serves as a flagship demonstration of large-scale offshore green hydrogen production. The project's focus on repurposing legacy assets aligns with the global shift towards renewable energy sources. Apollo's responsibilities in the project include developing detailed designs, integrating key systems like electrolysis and hydrogen compression, and ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards. The partnership between Apollo and NZTC highlights the potential of repurposed assets in enhancing hydrogen production capabilities. Phil Westmorland, Apollo's Director of Decarbonisation, expressed enthusiasm for the project's continuation, emphasizing the role of legacy infrastructure in the energy transition. Emma Swiergon, Technology Manager at NZTC, highlighted the importance of affordable and efficient hydrogen production for positioning the U.K. as a global leader in hydrogen technology. The HOP2 project is poised to contribute significantly to the advancement of sustainable energy solutions and support the country's net-zero goals.
