NREL Researchers Identify Promising Locations off US Coastlines for Installation of Technology
Using electricity generated by offshore wind turbines as one pathway to split water to produce clean hydrogen may make economic sense, particularly along the U.S. Atlantic Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico, according to researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
The economics work best in regions where the water is not as deep and the wind is strong, according to their findings in the recently published article, “Potential for large-scale deployment of offshore wind-to-hydrogen systems in the United States,” which appears in the Journal of Physics: Conference Series.
The ability to produce…
