Correction: We apologize for using this outdated graphic– our analysts caught it, as did many of you. While we could use OSW to produce clean hydrogen, none of our roadmaps consider home heating a viable use for H2. We expect the more feasible use is decarbonizing heavy industry.
Offshore wind can be used to produce clean hydrogen, which may hold the key to a zero-carbon future. At this week's Floating Offshore Wind Shot Summit, we are exploring the challenges & opportunities of this renewable power source. Learn more:
