Green hydrogen at sea cheaper and more sustainable, Wageningen University.
Researchers from Wageningen University & Research have shown that the production costs of green hydrogen via electrolysis at sea can be reduced by making Ultra-Pure Water (UPW) on site by means of membrane distillation. This ultra-clean water is essential for the conversion of wind energy into ‘green’ hydrogen.
With this research, a demonstration prototype on Texel showed that ultra-pure water can be made from seawater with residual heat released during electrolysis of water (for hydrogen production). Jolanda van Medevoort, project leader of this research and researcher within the Water Treatment & Technology program is delighted that this pilot has been completed so successfully.

This makes the business case for green…
