The North Sea Transition Authority has assembled a strong line-up of major operators and project developers for its supply chain event in Norwich in one week’s time. Attendees can look forward to learning about CCUS, hydrogen, platform electrification, solar and geothermal developments – and Bacton Energy Hub.
A research study has begun to explore the potential for green hydrogen production off the coast of East Anglia, in the UK.
The study, led by Hydrogen East, will research options and scenarios to bring together the region’s offshore gas and offshore wind sectors to produce clean hydrogen at scale for cleaner power, heat and transport fuels supplying the region and beyond.
The ‘Bacton Energy Hub: Exploring the potential for hydrogen from the Southern North Sea’ study will map existing offshore and onshore energy-related infrastructure and develop options and scenarios for where wind farms, gas platforms, subsea pipelines and cables could be integrated or repurposed over time to support hydrogen production.
