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 €5 million to investigate the feasibility and potential of combining an offshore wind turbine directly with an electrolyser and transporting renewable hydrogen to shore. The consortium will develop and test a megawatt-scale fully marinised electrolyser in a shoreside pilot trial. The project will be co-ordinated by Element Energy.
To realise the potential of offshore hydrogen production, there is a need for compact electrolysis systems that can withstand harsh offshore environments and have minimal maintenance requirements while still meeting cost and performance targets that will allow production of low-cost hydrogen. The project will provide a major advance towards this aim.

federal dollars are paying for the oyster project. the hope is that the reef will kickstart alabama s oyster business. so that was tiffany craig reporting that $1.5 million came from the federal grant in the wake of hurricane katrina and we should know in about a month if the oyster cleansing was a success. tiger woods making his big comeback at the masters. he s got a little more baggage this time, though, and it s not golf baggage. do fans even care about that baggage? if it s not there are over 50 international awards we d better give back. the jaguar xf. the critically acclaimed result of a very different way of thinking.
