Hydrogen Rowing Boat position paper – Implementation of offshore electrolysis in zone 4 & 5 of the EEZ

Implementation of offshore electrolysis for optimized offshore expansion in zones 4 and 5 based on mixed connection concepts consisting of submarine cables and pipelines.

The ongoing development of offshore wind energy in Germany requires an efficient and forward-looking grid connection. The Hydrogen Eight coalition is committed to the increased integration of offshore electrolysis into maritime area development planning in order to minimize grid bottlenecks, increase economic efficiency and adapt the regulatory framework accordingly.
