Lack of Access to the Power Grid
Off-grid areas face the challenge of being disconnected from conventional power infrastructure, limiting their access to renewable electricity.
Emission Reduction Imperative
Addressing climate change requires a shift towards cleaner energy sources. Off-grid demands are often reliant on fossil fueled on-site generation, with significant emissions.
Dependable Energy Supply
Off-grid communities and industries require a consistent and reliable source of energy to meet their needs as and when required, making it difficult to integrate intermittent renewable energy.
Dispatchable Renewables with Energy Storage
We ensure reliability through advanced energy storage solutions, such as batteries or hydrogen storage, guaranteeing power availability when required, even during intermittent renewable energy generation.
Easily Integrated Renewable Energy Offshore
Our floating platform produce, store and generate power as an unmanned platform. The platforms are place close to the off-grid asset and connected via cable at the required voltage. This mean there are easily integrated into the existing power provision with the same risk and power profile.
Cost-Effective CO2 Abatement
By generating efficient clean energy and reducing the need for fossil fueled baseload or backup generation, our solution provides a cost-effective CO2 abatement solution, aligning with sustainability goals.
Grid Balancing Complexity
Weak-grid areas struggle to integrate renewable energy due to fluctuations in demand and an intermittent supply, necessitating effective grid-balancing solutions often based on fossil fuels.
Fossil Fuel Dependency and Emissions
Reliance on fossil fuels in weak-grid regions is costly and contributes to significant greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating environmental concerns and exposing small grids to volatile fuel prices.
Limited Space and Tourism Impact
The constraint of limited space in some regions restricts the installation of traditional energy infrastructure like solar panels or wind turbines, as it may negatively impact tourism and the local environment.
Grid Balancing Capability
Our platform can support grid balancing by providing dispatchable power for peak-shaving or demand following services, using cutting-edge energy storage technologies like batteries or hydrogen, removing the need for fossil fueled back up generators.
Climate-Friendly Renewable Energy: We prioritize climate-friendliness by producing renewable energy offshore, reducing your carbon footprint without compromising sensitive environments or tourism industry in these areas.
Competitive Pricing
By reducing the need for baseload or balancing services, we deliver cost-effective energy solutions compared to other renewable energy options, making sustainable power accessible and affordable for weak-grid regions, while also benefiting the environment.
Rising Hydrogen Demand
The green hydrogen market faces increasing demand as industries turn to hydrogen for various applications, including ammonia, methanol, and pure hydrogen, requiring significant quantities of this clean energy carrier in order to address hard to abate sectors.
Renewable Energy Dependency
To ensure environmental benefits, Power-to-X processes must rely on renewable energy sources. However, the current setup often involves using fossil-fueled power plants when renewable energy availability is low.
Spatial Mismatch
The locations of renewable energy generation and hydrogen production/storage are not always congruent. This spatial disconnect can lead to inefficiencies in transporting energy and hydrogen to where they are needed.
Decentralized Hydrogen Production
Our floating platform offers a decentralized solution for hydrogen production. Hydrogen is generated directly on the platform, located close to the demand, and can be efficiently transported through pipes to shore or local hubs, reducing the need for long-distance transportation.
Minimal Energy Losses
By producing hydrogen on the same platform where power is generated, we minimize energy losses associated with long-distance transmission. Moving hydrogen through pipes incurs far less resistance, resulting in fewer energy losses during transportation.
Elimination of Bottlenecks
Each platform is self-sufficient, providing both energy production and electrolysis capabilities. This eliminates the need for bottlenecks at offshore hubs or onshore facilities, streamlining the green hydrogen production process and ensuring consistent supply. Space for both the needed renewable power and electrolysis will be a key bottle neck for meeting the global needs. Producing at new sites opened by floating, at better wind resource, further offshore will be essential.
Escalating Energy Demand
The stiff-grid market faces the constant challenge of meeting ever-increasing energy demands, necessitating innovative solutions to keep up with growth.
Supply Chain Bottlenecks
Meeting the demand for clean offshore energy is placing a significant strain on the existing maritime industry.
Meeting Local Content Targets
While the offshore wind industry grows and projects are delivered, there is increasing pressure to balance meeting energy needs with providing benefits to the local economy in this industry worth billions.
Scalable Offshore Design
Our floating platform features a scalable yet cost effective design that can be adapted to fit into a variety of offshore environments, ensuring flexibility in meeting the diverse needs of the stiff-grid market. The floating wind market is ~8 times greater than the fixed foundation market and will play a key role in meeting the increasing demand.
Modular Platform Design
Using a modularized panel-based platform allows the use of multiple fabricators delivering to an assembly port. This minimizes reliance on a single supplier of the major components as well as making a wider range of industrial suppliers available.
Customizable for Added Benefits
Our solution can be tailored to your specific requirements, with the option to include wave absorbers, further enhancing the generation of renewable energy to meet the unique demands of the Power-to-X industry and beyond.
Offshore wind installations are moving further away from the shore and into deeper waters, due to the scarce availability of wind sites, creating a need for floating foundations.
