(S&P Global) Hydrogen production of 1 mil mt/year by 2030; Artificial island planned on Dogger Bank — Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners is planning to build an artificial island for renewable hydrogen production in the North Sea, backed by 10 GW of offshore wind, the company said May 20.

Built on the Danish part of Dogger Bank in the North Sea, BrintO – meaning Hydrogen Island – will supply large volumes of green hydrogen by 2030, amounting to around 1 million mt/year at full capacity, fund manager CIP said.

The announcement comes two days after EU North Sea countries lifted their combined offshore wind targets to 65 GW by 2030, up from installed capacity of 15 GW across Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium at present.

“The Danish, German, Dutch and Belgian ambitions for the North Sea show the rest of the world how the green transition can be turbocharged if you dare to think big, internationally and in integrated systems,” CIP Partner Thomas Dalsgaard said in a statement. “Green energy will be harvested on a large scale out at sea, tied together by energy islands, converted into green hydrogen, and transported across borders via offshore hydrogen infrastructure.”

CIP said the hydrogen produced could be exported to nearby countries and used to produce sustainable transport fuels. READ MORE
