Seanovent Engineering AS and Strohm have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to work on offshore wind-to-hydrogen advancements to help the world transition to a more dependable, quicker, and less expensive green energy future.
The cooperation will concentrate on creating safe and dependable hydrogen transfer systems that will allow and improve the distributed green hydrogen concept, in which green hydrogen is produced in each wind turbine generator and transferred to shore through a subsea pipe infrastructure.
Strohm is the global leader in thermoplastic composite pipe design and manufacture (TCP). Its established technology is particularly well suited for transporting pressurised hydrogen offshore and undersea, as it requires no maintenance and may operate for more than 30 years.
TCP is fluid agnostic, including hydrogen, and suffers from none of the fatigue, embrittlement, or other problems that come with utilizing steel for hydrogen. It’s also adaptable and lightweight, allowing for a variety of installation alternatives ranging from cable lay vessels to tiny construction vessels, lowering installation costs and total cost of ownership dramatically.
Seanovent is an underwater engineering and innovation company that provides infield manifolds, in-line T’s, connectors, and related equipment for subsea connection and hydrogen transfer. Seanovent also has substantial in-house knowledge in subsea field development. The company has the ability to optimize layouts in order to lower costs and improve system dependability.
Seanovent and Strohm saw the benefit of working together in the offshore wind-to-hydrogen arena, where TCP’s exceptional properties mix with optimized connections and other subsea component designs to create a safe, high-quality, and dependable hydrogen transfer solution. TCP’s versatility also makes it easier for operators and integrators in the booming offshore green hydrogen generation business to identify the best configuration.
“We are really delighted to announce this new cooperation,” Caroline Justet, business growth executive EiT at Strohm, stated. Seanovent’s significant offshore knowledge, combined with Strohm’s outstanding pipeline systems, will help to accelerate the development of safe offshore wind-to-hydrogen projects by delivering more dependable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, the Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) will be reduced, and distributed green hydrogen generation offshore will become more competitive sooner.”
“More than ever, there is a pressing need for creative solutions to meet the industry’s net zero emission ambitions,” said Seanovent CTO Steinar Hestetun. Our partnership with Strohm enables us to leverage both companies’ expertise to assist speed the shift and realize our common goal of promoting renewable energy sources.”
