Bold vision: Wind turbines with integrated electrolyzer

Wind Industry Profile of

H2Mare flagship project is supposed to receive more than €100 million funding from the BMBF

The offshore wind turbines of the future are set to produce molecules instead of electrons. Self-sufficient units comprising a wind turbine and an integrated electrolyzer produce green hydrogen on an industrial scale and save the costs of connection to the grid. In this way, they can make a significant contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In a second phase, the green hydrogen can be converted into further synthetic fuels and energy carriers. This vision is now intended to become a reality in the scope of the H2Mare flagship project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The H2Mare flagship project aims... ... More: Official Press Release Fraunhofer IWES
