Lhyfe launches offshore green hydrogen pilot site
Lhyfe has launched ‘Sealhyfe’, a world-first offshore renewable green hydrogen production demonstrator.
Sealhyfe will operate at quay then off the coast of Le Croisic, on the offshore testing site (SEM-REV) operated by French engineering school Centrale Nantes.
Lhyfe believes that offshore has a central role to play in bringing renewable green hydrogen production to mass market. Producing hydrogen using offshore wind turbines could allow all coastal countries to develop green solutions for regions, industry, transport and fuel distribution, the company said.
According to Lhyfe, it will produce the first kilograms of renewable green hydrogen at quay and then at sea, operating automatically in the most extreme conditions. The company has installed its production unit on a floating platform, connected to a floating wind turbine.
Challenges that Sealhyfe will have to meet include performing all stages of hydrogen production at sea including converting the electrical voltage from the floating wind turbine, pumping, desalinating and purifying seawater, and breaking the water molecules via electrolysis to obtain renewable green hydrogen.
