The UK has more than 11GW of offshore wind capacity installed
Centrica and Lhyfe plan North Sea offshore hydrogen pilot
The two firms will explore potential development of future offshore wind-to-hydrogen projects at commercial scale
UK energy company Centrica and French green hydrogen developer Lhyfe have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly develop a pilot offshore green hydrogen plant in the southern North Sea. The two firms will also explore potential development of future projects at commercial scale alongside offshore wind electricity production. “We are pleased to announce this agreement with Centrica, which represents an exciting opportunity to drive forward the clean energy transition through large-scale offshore green hydrogen production,” says Colin Brown, UK and Ireland country manager at Lhyfe. “Offshore electrolysis, coupled with hydrogen storage, will maximise the huge potential of offshor
