Offshore hydrogen costs could fall 20% with system-level designing, study claims


A study aimed at optimising designs for offshore green hydrogen production claims it has achieved its goal of setting out a path to reduce the levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH) by 10-20%.

The IPOSH (Innovative Process Design for Offshore Hydrogen) project, undertaken by H2sea, Bosch Thin Metal Technologies and TNO, reviewed electrolyser designs and long-term efficiency to strengthen the role of offshore hydrogen.

Without revealing specific technical details, the group said it took electrolyser stack, balance of stack, and balance of plant components into consideration from the outset to optimise system-level operation.

“This integrated approach ensured that cost savings were released through simultaneous optimisation rather than retrofitting elements to pre-designed stacks,” H2sea said.
