The fast-paced global race to produce hydrogen with surplus wind energy (and how it can replace gas)\nExcess wind energy can be used to generate hydrogen.

Its generating capacity reached its highest known level of 17.2 gigawatts on December 18, 2020.

Additionally, wind capacity recorded its highest margin in UK energy production when it reached 60% on August 26.

And it happens that, on certain occasions, huge offshore wind generators pump out much more electricity than the country needs, such as during the first Covid-19 quarantine last year, when demand for electricity decreased due to the suspension of certain industries. .

Is it possible to use that excess power for something else?

The initiative:

"What we intend to do is generate hydrogen directly from that offshore wind energy," says Stephen Matthews, leader of a project on the subject at ERM, a sustainability consultancy in the United Kingdom.

His initiative, called Dolphyn, aims to equip floating wind turbines with equipment to desalinate seawater and electrolyzers to split the resulting freshwater into oxygen and hydrogen.

The United Kingdom announced its intention to widespread the use of renewable energy and change its infrastructure.

The idea of ​​using excess wind energy to produce this element sparked great interest, especially as governments seek to move towards greener energy systems in the next 30 years, following the terms of the Paris climate agreement.

It is anticipated that hydrogen can be an important component in these systems and can be used in vehicles or power plants.

Matthews maintains that his company's project is just getting underway, with a prototype system that will use a floating wind turbine of about 10 megawatts capacity.

However, this technology has not yet been built.

The system is likely to be installed in Scottish waters and the aim is to start producing hydrogen around 2024...<end_of_turn>
