Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy are joining forces to develop an innovative solution that fully integrates an electrolyzer into an offshore wind turbine as a single synchronized system to produce green hydrogen directly. The companies intend to provide a full-scale offshore demonstration of the solution by 2025/2026. Together with Siemens.
Thursday, 14 January 2021 To reach the Paris Agreement goals, the world will need vast amounts of green hydrogen and wind will provide a large portion of the power needed for its production. Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy announced today that they are joining forces combining their ongoing wind to hydrogen developments to address one of the major challenges of our decade decarbonizing the economy to solve the climate crisis.

The companies are contributing with their developments to an innovative solution that fully integrates an electrolyzer into an offshore wind turbine as a single synchronized system to directly produce green hydrogen. The companies intend to provide a full-scale offshore demonstration of the solution by 2025/2026. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research announced today that the developments can be implemented as part of the ideas competition Hydrogen Republic of Germany .
Germany: Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy to unlock a new era of offshore green hydrogen production
14 Jan 2021
Projects target a total investment of approx. EUR 120 million over five years in developments leading to a fully integrated offshore wind-to-hydrogen solution
Projects are first major step to develop an industrial-scale system capable of harvesting green hydrogen from offshore wind
Developments will enable decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors such as transport and heavy industry
Implementation within the framework of the ideas competition Hydrogen Republic of Germany of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research
To reach the
Paris Agreement goals, the world will need vast amounts of green hydrogen and wind will provide a large portion of the power needed for its production.
