Green Hydrogen from stranded or soon to be stranded offshore oil and gas Platforms

With hydrogen being touted world over as the missing link in the renewable energy for decarbonization, the major corporations and countries around the world are beginning to embrace it, resulting in millions of dollars of investments throughout the ecosystem. An interesting trend shows a lot of traditional oil and gas companies are also pivoting their stands and parallelly investing in the hydrogen infrastructure space. The ability of hydrogen to be transported via existing pipelines either through blending with ammonia or via refurbishment of the pipelines provides additional incentives for those corporations involved in the downstream activities within the oil and gas network. This thesis gives an overview of one such scenario where possible investments can be made by the oil and gas companies to leverage their pre-existing infrastructure in order to divest, pilot and better prepare themselves for a hydrogen economy in the future. It also facilitates a way for the faster adoption of technology via investments in proven wind energy to generate green hydrogen in the offshore structures.Objectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::7 - Energia Assequible i No Contaminan
