In a joint announcement, the Offshore Wind Power Limited (OWPL) consortium, which includes Macquarie’s Green Investment Group, TotalEnergies and Scottish developer Renewable Infrastructure Development Group, announced that it is investigating the use of offshore wind to power the production of green hydrogen on an industrial scale on Orkney’s island of Flotta.
The partnership aimed to build a hydrogen plant with a capacity of 400 megawatts and an anticipated hydrogen production rate of about 150,000 kg per day.
For the world to achieve Net Zero energy by 2050, an unprecedented level of change, investment, and collaboration are required, and Cadent is dedicated to rising to the challenge as a company.
In a statement, Natascha Viljoen, CEO of Anglo American’s PGMs division, said, “This feasibility study with our partners has confirmed the possibility to develop new engines of economic activity through hydrogen.”
The gases hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) are positioned on opposite sides of a membrane that allows only single, positively charged hydrogen protons to flow through.
