Hydrogen production with offshore wind and sea water electrolysis. Capitalizing Norways offshore wind potential

      Аннотация: Jules Verne, The Mysterious Island, 1874: "Yes, my friends, I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable." -- -- -- -- What if there was a way to capitalize Norways offshore wind potential while becoming one of the largest producers of the fuel of the future - hydrogen? This study elaborates the idea of offshore hydrogen production platforms that could be used to produce hydrogen from offshore wind. Norway is one of the largest producers of fossil fuels and a clean energy pioneer. As the Norwegian energy demand can be covered with hydropower, there is no need to capitalize offshore wind potentials - unless there is another way: by using offshore wind potentials to produce clean hydrogen Norway can develop a large scale hydrogen production economy, maintainting both a leading role in fuel production and clean energy pioneering.
