Aerodynamic Design Optimization of Floating Wind Turbines for In Situ Hydrogen Production

The energy transition towards carbon neutrality requires a rapid electrification of all energy sectors by 2050. In the EU-27, the REPowerEU strategy, initiated in March 2022, is pursuing this target even more ambitiously. However, in order to achieve the aforementioned goals, the increasing demand for green hydrogen will...

Power-to-Gas for the Dutch transportation sector: Wind-powered hydrogen fueling stations with on-site hydrogen generation

The focus of this investigation is the location, sizing and performance of a Hydrogen Fueling Station (HFS) in The Netherlands in 2030. The transportation sector is one of the main air pollution sources, reaching 17% of the total emissions from The Netherlands in 2015. By promoting zero emission vehicles, like Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs)...

2050: Power-to-hydrogen opportunities for far offshore wind farms

In 2050, the Netherlands’ goal is to have a fully renewable energy mix, mainly composed of solar and wind energy to supply electricity. In this way, the country will meet the environmental targets to reduce the carbon emissions by 90%. The offshore wind installed capacity in the Netherlands was approved to increase to 11.5 GW by 2030. In the...
