Technip Energies and its affiliates Kanfa and Inocean have announced the launch of GO.H2 by T.EN, a full suite of carbon-free solutions for green hydrogen production.

 

Hydrogen is integral to the Energy Transition, and, building on its long-lasting hydrogen and offshore track record, Technip Energies is bringing expertise into green hydrogen to meet an increasing global demand for renewable energy.

 

This suite of solutions – based on renewable power sources such as wind and solar – is flexible with building blocks tailored to meet clients’ needs depending on substructures, hydrogen products and derivatives produced, functionality and locations.

 

The offshore facility can be a fixed structure or a floater. The green hydrogen is produced using a sea water desalination unit, followed by electrolysis and exported to shore by a transport pipeline or offloaded on a carrier vessel.

 

For harsher environments, the substructure can be a spar or a semi-submersible. For high capacities and further from shore, the hydrogen is converted by adding an ammonia or a Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) unit and transferred to a floating storage and offloading vessel. By adding hydrogen storage and fuel cells, the facility ensures a stable and continuous power supply for electrified oil and gas facilities powered by wind turbines. For smaller capacities, the systems can be located on the floating offshore wind substructure or on the substation.

 

Intermittency management is addressed from design phase through adequate system architecture and technology bricks, power and hydrogen storage and control strategies. In operations, an energy management system (EMS) enables online production optimization through predictive control models.

 

Laure Mandrou, SVP Carbon-Free Solutions of Technip Energies, stated: “With more than 50 years of experience in hydrogen and an extensive expertise in offshore, we are proud to offer this innovative and flexible suite of solutions for the production of green hydrogen and its derivatives. GO.H2 by T.EN illustrates our commitment to technology as a key driver to accelerate the journey towards a low-carbon future.”
