Offshore Hydrogen : From Seawater Electrolysis to Digital Twin-Driven System Design
Unlocking Clean Hydrogen from the Depths of the Ocean
Early access to the e-LMS platform is included
About This Course
Deep-Sea Electrolysis is an advanced hydrogen production approach that uses saline seawater under high-pressure deep-ocean conditions. By leveraging natural pressure and low temperatures, it improves electrolysis efficiency while reducing freshwater and energy demands. This technology supports sustainable, large-scale green hydrogen generation using offshore renewable energy sources.
Aim
To develop a sustainable and efficient hydrogen production system using deep-sea electrolysis that directly utilizes saline seawater, reduces freshwater dependency, and integrates with offshore renewable energy sources for large-scale green hydrogen generation.
Program Objectives
- Utilize deep-sea high-pressure and low-temperature conditions to enhance electrolysis efficiency.
- Enable direct hydrogen production from saline seawater, reducing dependence on freshwater resources.
- Integrate deep-sea electrolysis systems with offshore renewable energy sources such as wind and tidal power.
- Develop safe and reliable subsea hydrogen generation and storage technologies.
- Minimize environmental impact while supporting scalable and sustainable green hydrogen production.
