The Netherlands and Curaçao Collaborate on Floating Wind Energy and Hydrogen Production

The Netherlands and Curaçao have signed a significant agreement aimed at developing offshore floating wind energy and establishing a hydrogen production chain in Curaçao.

This collaboration promises to leverage the expertise of the Dutch offshore wind industry and the unique geographic advantages of Curaçao, fostering sustainable energy production and economic growth within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The agreement, signed on May 24, involves the Ministries of Economic Affairs and Climate (EZK) and the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK) of the Netherlands, and the Ministry of Economic Development (MEO) of Curaçao. It builds on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from May 15, 2023, reflecting Curaçao’s ambition to transition to sustainable energy and develop an export-oriented green energy sector.

The primary aim is to harness offshore wind energy using floating wind turbines, a technology particularly suited to deep waters. This will not only generate local sustainable energy but also establish a scalable hydrogen production chain. The agreement is seen as a way to tap into Curaçao’s potential for up to 10 GW of wind energy, contributing significantly to the island’s socio-economic development and energy transition goals.

Over the coming months, technical, logistical, and operational plans will be developed in collaboration with organizations experienced in floating offshore wind and sustainable fuel production. The Dutch industry, represented by trade organizations IRO (offshore energy), NedZero (wind energy), and NLHydrogen (hydrogen sector), will play a crucial role in this initiative. These organizations will coordinate efforts to ensure the project’s success, aiming to create a comprehensive and scalable hydrogen value chain.

In the broader context of the hydrogen and renewable energy sectors, this project represents an innovative application of floating wind technology. Similar projects globally, such as those in the North Sea and off the coasts of Japan and the United States, have demonstrated the feasibility and benefits of floating wind farms in deep waters. However, the Curaçao project stands out due to its integration with hydrogen production, aiming to provide a holistic solution to renewable energy needs.
