Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has unveiled plans to build an artificial island dedicated to large-scale production of green hydrogen from offshore wind in Denmark and has entered an agreement with Allianz Investment Management (AIM) to perform a feasibility study for a similar project in Germany.

In Denmark, CIP is proposing to build an island called BrintØ, which is planned to be established on the Danish part of Dogger Bank, an area expected to become a central hub for the future build-out of offshore energy infrastructure in the North Sea, according to CIP.

While the establishment of a huge green hydrogen plant that will produce with solar and wind power in the Inner Mongolia location has been approved by China, the facility will produce 66,900 tons of green hydrogen per year with 1.85 gigawatts of solar power and 370 megawatts of wind power capacity.

While the project is scheduled to begin in October and be operational by mid-2021, the plant needs at least 465 megawatts of electrolyzer to produce said quantities of hydrogen.

Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) on Friday launched Europe’s biggest hydrogen electrolysis plant of 10 megawatts (MW) called Refhyne at the Wesseling site of its Rheinland refinery after two years of construction, expanding further into alternative energies.

The plant will produce green fuels within a European Union-funded consortium which is already setting sights on a facility of 100 MW at the site near Cologne to scale up its commercial operations.

Hydrogen is considered “green” when it is produced from renewable power from wind or solar through electrolysis whereas “grey” hydrogen from fossil fuels is a feedstock in many standard industry processes today.

The world is increasingly banking on green hydrogen fuel to fill some of the critical missing pieces in the clean-energy puzzle.

US presidential candidate Joe Biden’s climate plan calls for a research program to produce a clean form of the gas that’s cheap enough to fuel power plants within a decade. Likewise, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union have all published hydrogen roadmaps that rely on it to accelerate greenhouse gas reductions in the power, transportation, or industrial sectors.
