SSE Renewables and Equinor have awarded green hydrogen engineering contracts linked to the fourth phase of the Dogger Bank wind farm in the North Sea.
Covering the feasibility and optimisation of a large-scale green hydrogen development option on the proposed Dogger Bank D, the contracts have been awarded to Genesis, H2GO Power and Fichtner. They will carry out studies, exploring the range of interdependent variables needed to optimise a green hydrogen production facility.
This will include looking at offshore wind farm sizing, electrolysis capacity, transport and storage capacity, water availability and offtake optionality.
Genesis will deliver a technology agonistic concept and engineering design study, while H2GO Power and Fichtner will perform value chain optimisation for the potential green hydrogen offtake option.
