Artificial reef potential of wind tower foundations

Industrial automation and digitalization

Systems designed to prevent ice formation on wind turbine rotor blades, ensuring efficient operation in cold climates. Methods include embedded heating elements, hot air circulation, and mechanical de-icing devices.

Advanced control systems that adjust rotor blade orientation in real-time based on wind conditions to optimize energy capture.

A process to produce green hydrogen directly from seawater using renewable electricity.

North Sea

Yorkshire coast

A 10 GW offshore wind-powered green hydrogen production project developed by Shell, Gasunie, and Groningen Seaports. The project will use renewable energy from North Sea wind turbines to power electrolysis facilities for industrial-scale hydrogen production.

One of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, located off the Yorkshire coast in the UK. The project has been instrumental in powering electrolysis processes to produce green hydrogen and contributes to the UK's renewable energy targets.

An advanced electrode material for seawater electrolysis that addresses anode corrosion and reduces catalyst costs, enabling efficient hydrogen production at coastal wind farm locations.
