The intermittency of offshore wind power is both a challenge and an opportunity for green hydrogen production. There will be a new generation of platforms taking up space in offshore wind farms as hydrogen production is used to help balance power supply and demand. Green hydrogen could be produced at off-grid windfarms but, if grid-connected, it can also be produced at peak times by running electrolyzers and then stored for later…
