In an economic comparison between the use of hydrogen and electricity for the transmission of bulk power at sea, R. d''Amore-Domenech et al. (2021) [23] found that for large offshore wind farms, the hydrogen energy transmission vectors (gas in pipelines or liquified transported by ships) are better in comparison to the electric alternatives.

With green hydrogen as the bridge, green electricity can be transformed into a transportation fuel, or as feedstock in industrial processes, where currently no climate-neutral alternatives exist. Green hydrogen and derived fuels, such as green ammonia, will allow us to put wind power into the fuel tank of a container ship.

This project explores electrolytic hydrogen production hydrogen from offshore wind turbines, a promising pathway for decarbonization for multiple energy sectors. The impact is to accelerate development and de-risk a promising hydrogen production pathway.
As a stand-alone or combined with ocean power and hydrogen technologies, wind energy has the full potential to become massive. It will be the backbone of our modern electricity system," Mr Coenen adds. Europe is currently a leader in these technologies. But others are catching up, particularly China, which added more offshore

Hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels can transport energy from renewables over long distances – from regions with abundant solar and wind resources, such as Australia or Latin America, to energy-hungry cities thousands of kilometres away. There have been false starts for hydrogen in the past; this time could be different.
Global engineering company Tractebel is exploring the possibility of building a large-scale, offshore hydrogen production plant powered by nearby wind turbines; and UK-headquartered Neptune
Wind energy in the United States helps avoid 336 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. (link is external) —equivalent to the emissions from 73 million cars. Wind power benefits local communities. Wind projects deliver an estimated $2 billion. (link is external) in state and local tax payments and land-lease payments each year.
This paper explores the possibility that a significant source for this hydrogen could be produced by electrolysis fueled by power generated from offshore wind in China. Hydrogen could be
Hydrogen is a clean energy carrier that can play an important role in the global energy transition. Its sourcing is critical. Green hydrogen from renewable sources is a near-zero carbon production route. Important synergies exist between accelerated deployment of renewable energy and hydrogen production and use.

In this system, produced hydrogen is employed for several applications according to the following scenarios: The first is the wind/H 2 grid–independent scenario, where the water electrolyzer is directly coupled with wind energy through a power-conditioning system.
More to the Energy Islands point, green hydrogen can serve as an energy carrier that provides offshore wind power with a wider range of opportunities to connect with local and global energy
The combination of wind energy as a source of production and hydrogen as a carrier and reservoir of energy has been a successful partnership. The unstable nature of wind and the long-term storage
Energy storage: green hydrogen can be used to store excess renewable energy, such as solar or wind power. When renewable energy generation exceeds demand, green hydrogen can be produced through electrolysis, stored, and then used later to generate electricity through fuel cells or combustion turbines [ 56, 57 ].
Hydrogen Fuel Basics. Hydrogen is a clean fuel that, when consumed in a fuel cell, produces only water. Hydrogen can be produced from a variety of domestic resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind. These qualities make it an attractive fuel option for transportation and electricity
Hydrogen can be produced from diverse, domestic resources. Currently, most hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, specifically natural gas. Electricity—from the grid or from renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, or biomass—is also currently used to produce hydrogen. In the longer term, solar energy and biomass can be used more
While only a fraction of today''s energy mix, hydrogen produced using wind energy could become a key component in a global zero-carbon future. DOE''s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office is looking at scenarios showing potential for 5X growth in hydrogen production from current levels.
