据7月9日offshore energy消息：爱尔兰启动了一个旨在推动海上风电绿色制氢发展的新项目。
H-Wind项目由UCC MaREI研究中心领导，由爱尔兰科学基金会和四个行业合作伙伴共同资助：爱尔兰天然气网络、DP能源、ESB和Equinor。
该项目将把绿色氢气定位为更有效地提供能源的手段，将电力网络和天然气网络结合起来，以优化利用爱尔兰的海上风能资源。
H-Wind还将寻求绿色氢的新市场，并确保爱尔兰在能源系统整合方面实施欧盟战略。
该项目目标是海上风电场大规模制氢的成本降低措施、可扩展海上风氢枢纽的概念、氢安全程序、客户价值链和政策建议。
能源部门的所有合作伙伴都以各种方式参与了氢项目。
据H-Wind项目财团称，爱尔兰天然气网络公司致力于通过逐步用氢气等可再生气体替代天然气，到2050年实现天然气网络的净零排放。该组织位于都柏林的新氢创新中心，将至多20%的氢与天然气和生物甲烷混合，随后将至多100%的氢混合进行测试。
爱尔兰能源公司和Equinor在4月宣布，他们将在爱尔兰西海岸共同开发一个1.4吉瓦Moneypoint浮动海上风电场，该项目还可能包括氢气生产。
DP Energy是浮式风能和海洋能源项目的开发商，也参与了多个风能、氢气和储能项目的开发。
今年年初，Iberdrola同意收购DP Energy在爱尔兰的3吉瓦海上风电管道的多数股权，这标志着西班牙能源公司将进入爱尔兰海上风电市场。

Offshore wind-to-hydrogen project launched in Ireland
A new project aiming to advance development of green hydrogen production powered by offshore wind has been launched in Ireland.
The H-Wind project, led by UCC MaREI Research Centre, is being co-funded by Science Foundation Ireland and four industry partners: Gas Networks Ireland, DP Energy, ESB, and Equinor.
The project will look to position green hydrogen as the means of more efficiently providing energy by bringing the electricity network and gas network together to make optimal use of Ireland’s offshore wind resources.
H-Wind will also seek to identify new markets for green hydrogen and ensure that Ireland delivers The project goals are cost-reduction measures for large-scale hydrogen production from offshore wind farms, concepts for scalable offshore wind – hydrogen hubs, procedures for hydrogen safety, the customer value chain, and policy recommendations.
All the partners from the energy sector are involved in hydrogen projects in According to the H-Wind project consortium, Gas Networks Ireland is committed to delivering a net-zero gas network by 2050 by gradually replacing natural gas with renewable gases such as hydrogen. Blends of up to 20 per cent hydrogen with natural gas and biomethane, and subsequently up to 100 per cent are being tested at the organisation’s new Hydrogen Innovation Centre in Dublin.
Irish energy company and Equinor announced in April that they would jointly develop a 1.4 GW Moneypoint floating offshore wind farm off the West Coast of Ireland, a project that could also include hydrogen production.
DP Energy, the developer of floating wind and ocean energy projects, is also involved in multiple wind, hydrogen and energy storage developments.
At the beginning of this year, Iberdrola agreed to take a majority stake in DP Energy’s 3 GW offshore wind pipeline in Ireland, which marked the Spanish energy company’s entry into the Irish offshore wind market.
