ITM Power (AIM: ITM), the energy storage and clean fuel company, is pleased to note the announcement today of a €5m award to a consortium to study the production of green hydrogen offshore. The full joint announcement concerning the OYSTER project is set out below:
ITM Power, Ørsted, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, and Element Energy have been awarded EUR 5 million in funding from The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH2-JU) under the European Commission to demonstrate and investigate a combined wind turbine and electrolyser system designed for operation in marine environments. The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH2-JU), a public private partnership of the European Commission, has awarded the consortium behind the OYSTER project, consisting of ITM Power, Ørsted, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, and Element Energy EUR 5 million to investigate the feasibility and potential of combining an offshor
ITM Power, Ørsted, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, and Element Energy have joined forces to investigate the feasibility and potential of combining an offshore wind turbine.

ShipFC project to demonstrate feasibility of ammonia-fuel cells for deep sea shipping
28 Dec 2020
EU funded maritime innovation project ShipFC on Saturday (19 December) said interest in ammonia-powered fuel cells for the maritime sector is growing, but stakeholders have been hesitant to commit to investments in large-scale systems.Â
Now the ShipFC project, granted funding from EU’s Research and Innovation program Horizon 2020 under its Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU), is aiming to secure a place for ammonia in the future of deep-sea shipping.
The project will equip the offshore supply vessel
Viking Energy, owned and operated by Eidesvik and on contract to energy major Equinor, with a 2MW ammonia fuel cell, allowing it to operate for at least 3000 hours annually on clean fuel. Following the completion of that phase, the project will ramp up to qualifying 20MW fuel cell solutions for oceangoing vessels.
