Sealhyfe pilot facility comes online

The offshore green hydrogen pilot production facility, dubbed Sealhyfe, has been in the works for a few years now. Lhyfe teamed up with Capital Energy to make the one-megawatt (1 MW) electrolyzer in just 16 months and then tested it extensively in the Port of Saint-Nazaire between September 2022 to May 2023

Subsea 7 to work together with EnBW for green offshore concepts

Under a memorandum of understanding the two partners will explore the technical and commercial elements of green offshore hydrogen production, from both pilot and commercial scale facilities, considering bottom-fixed and floating options.

Norway gives nod to offshore oil and gas investments

The government of Norway has given the green light to companies to develop 19 oil and gas offshore fields with investments valued over NOK200bn ($18.5bn). The Norwegian government said in a press release that the projects were either new developments, further development of existing fields, or investments in projects for increased extraction at existing fields.

DNV, ZMI agree to reduce offshore emissions

The MoU would be a joint feasibility study to assess the safety, compliance and sustainability aspects of current and future fuels and technologies, from both a technical and operational standpoint.

ISTS charges on offshore wind, hydrogen, and ammonia projects waived

The off-shore projects commissioned from January 1, 2033, would be given graded ISTS charges. Earlier, all wind energy projects were provided waivers up to June 30, 2025.

Lhyfe and Centrica agreed to jointly develop a renewable green hydrogen project

Lhyfe and Centrica have agreed to jointly develop offshore renewable green hydrogen in the UK in a first for the country. The companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that could accelerate green hydrogen as part of the energy transition in the UK. Under the agreement, Lhyfe and Centrica will explore combining their expertise

DNV study finds offshore hydrogen infrastructure benefits for Europe

The “Specification of a European Offshore Hydrogen Backbone” study, commissioned by infrastructure system operators GASCADE and Fluxys and conducted by DNV, highlights the significant benefits of an offshore hydrogen backbone in the North and Baltic Seas. Offshore hydrogen production is paramount to meet the substantial increase expected in European hydrogen demand, as hydrogen is due

First CO2 storage in the Danish North Sea

A consortium of 23 organisations led by UK-based chemicals giant Ineos and Wintershall Dea, is behind Project Greensand which demonstrated for the first time the feasibility of CO2 storage from being captured at an Ineios Oxide site in Belgium, to being transported cross-border and permanently stored offshore. Hailed as a “big moment for Europe’s green

NZTC, and Siemens’s pilot could reduce offshore emissions by 75%

The Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) and Siemens Energy have announced the successful demonstration of an aero-derived gas turbine running on green methanol. The world first pilot, at the RWG facility in Aberdeen, creates the potential for significant reductions in offshore CO2 emissions. The use of green methanol could cut carbon dioxide emissions by up
