The Sweden-based company OX2 and the Bank of Åland, who are jointly developing two multi-gigawatt-scale offshore wind farms in Finland, have initiated a feasibility study on Mega Grön Hamn (Mega Green Port), a project involving large-scale production and distribution of hydrogen and e-fuel in Åland.
German offshore wind and hydrogen industry associations have called on the German government to strategically plan the first offshore green hydrogen production tender so it could be a stepping stone to the fast roll-out of further such projects, bringing large quantities of green hydrogen. In Januar
Eleven offshore wind developers are partnering with the Carbon Trust to develop methodology and guidance to measure and address the carbon emissions associated with offshore wind farms throughout their lifecycle. The offshore wind developers that joined forces with the Carbon Trust are bp, EnBW, Fre
Vineyard Offshore, the project team behind the first commercial-scale offshore wind project in the USA, has submitted a proposal to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to develop the Excelsior Wind and Liberty Wind projects. With a total capacity of over 2.6 GW, th
The following article is a guest post by Mark Goalen, Director – Offshore Engineering, Houlder. The scaling up of renewable energy capacity will be essential for the success of the global energy transition. Increasing offshore wind capacity is, in turn, key to scaling up renewable energy production
GE has submitted a plan to construct two new manufacturing facilities in New York if it wins a sufficient volume of orders from customers in the State’s ongoing solicitation for up to 4.6 GW of offshore wind. GE proposed building the factories with Carver Companies at their Port of Coeymans site. Sh
