The project comprises four joint projects that are promoted independently of each other, with a total of 35 partners. Those projects include:
- OffgridWind: A turbine concept that realizes electrolysis directly in the offshore wind turbine.
- H2Wind: Aims to improve the maximum yield of wind energy, consisting of the development of a proton exchange membrane electrolysis system.
- PtX-Wind: Focuses on converting to more easily transportable, synthetic energy carriers and fuels, such as methane, methanol, and ammonia. Direct saltwater electrolysis is also being tested.
- TransferWind: Addresses transfer of knowledge to the public and exchange of expertise across multiple projects.
This will involve consideration of the entire value creation chain: from wind-energy generation and hydrogen production to the conversion of hydrogen into methane, liquid hydrocarbons, methanol, or ammonia right up to use in industry or the energy sector. The goal is a significant cost advantage in the production of large volumes of hydrogen.
