Repurposing Offshore Oil and Gas Infrastructure for Hydrogen Production and Storage

Public university and research institution; spin-out creator and research host.

Energy company with oil, gas, power, and hydrogen activities

Steel manufacturing

A method that separates the formation of oxygen and hydrogen into different stages, locations, and rates, allowing hydrogen production directly from seawater without relying on freshwater supplies.

The process used to produce green hydrogen by splitting water using electricity.

Technologies that utilize ammonia as a sustainable fuel source and as a medium for hydrogen production.

North Sea

Sweden

Project led by Dr. Alfonso Martinez-Felipe at the University of Aberdeen investigating ways to repurpose aged offshore oil and gas infrastructure for hydrogen production and storage, with focus on optimizing mechanical properties of materials for safe hydrogen transport.

Project led by Professor Aidong Yang at the University of Oxford exploring the use of ammonia as both a hydrogen carrier and a reducing agent in steel production to enable 'green steel' with vastly reduced emissions.

Research project led by Professor Mark Symes at the University of Glasgow focusing on producing hydrogen directly from seawater by separating the formation of oxygen and hydrogen into different stages, locations, and rates.
