RWE hydrogen offshore wind projects selected for EU Innovation Fund grants.
Renewable energy company RWE said this week that two of its innovative projects have been shortlisted to receive funding from the EU Innovation Fund, one of the world's largest programs to demonstrate innovative low-carbon technologies. These projects are RWE's FUREC project in the Netherlands and an offshore wind farm off the German coast, in which the company Nordsee Two GmbH RWE has a % stake.
The two projects are among a total of projects selected by the EU Innovation Fund for the preparation of grant agreements, which is now underway. The EU Innovation Fund subsidizes innovative technologies for renewable energy, energy-intensive industries, energy storage and carbon capture, utilization and storage.
RWE is developing Nordsee Two hydrogen offshore wind farms off the German coast together with its Canadian partner Northland Power. The wind farm with a planned grid capacity of megawatts (MW) will be built no C Level Executive List rth of the island of Juist and is scheduled to begin commercial operation in Together, the partners are driving technological advances in the offshore wind industry.
In addition to the newest and most innovative wind turbines (each with a minimum of MW), the partners aim to demonstrate the technical and commercial feasibility of producing hydrogen at sea. To this end, it is planned to integrate an electrolyzer into the offshore wind farm . The green hydrogen that would be obtained with the help of the electrolyzer could be used to fuel ships and to supply emergency power to the marine substation or wind turbines.
With FUREC (Fuse Reuse Recycle), RWE's other project, the company wants to produce hydrogen for the chemical industry and thus contribute to making production processes more sustainable. Household waste from Limburg in the Netherlands will replace natural gas.
For FUREC, a plant is being built in Limburg to process waste materials into raw material granules. These pallets will then be converted into hydrogen at another plant in Limburg's Chemelot industrial park, which will be supplied to OCI's nitrogen fertilizer plants. In this way, the natural gas consumption of the industrial park is reduced by more than million cubic meters per year, and the emission of about , tons of CO per year is also avoided. The CO released during hydrogen production can be captured and stored or possibly used as a feedstock in the future.
RWE's two innovative projects have been shortlisted for funding from the EU Innovation Fund, which will boost RWE's hydrogen and offshore business.
