Why offshore hydrogen
The North Sea can be a green power plant. Here are the reasons, the evidence and the answers to the questions most often asked about it.
Hydrogen from offshore wind is not an end in itself. It solves concrete problems: it makes wind power storable, relieves the electricity grids, lowers the cost of the overall system and supplies industry with the raw material it needs to decarbonise. The following pages set out why that is — and where the figures come from.
