Ever heard of the instability of renewables power production, due to weather conditions? Well yes, that’s a disadvantage of renewables, especially Solar & Wind, but there is a solution that a union of Norwegian companies, lead by TechnipFMC, are working on it. The project is called “Deep Purple” and is based on storing offshore wind energy as “hydrogen fuel” made from filtered seawater, in the sea bed.
Deep Purple aims to store the output of offshore wind farms (electricity), as Hydrogen in seabed hydrogen tanks. Hydrogen Fuel cells at a later stage, when needed, would re-electrify the hydrogen to provide a “clean” and “stable” source of power. This is intended in the first place to make offshore oil and gas platforms greener, as they stand for 28% of Norwegian CO2 emissions. However, it could be easily extended to other applications such as shipping industry, seafood farms, seaports among other potential target markets for green electricity produced.
The project is planned to have an onshore large-scale pilot prototype by 2021 and hopes to develop a “full-scale pilot” running off Norway by 2025.
