Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has disclosed its plans to build a hydrogen artificial island in the Dogger Bank section of the Danish North Sea. The BrintØ project will help utility-scale green hydrogen production associated with offshore wind farms.
BrintØ will be powered by 10MW of offshore wind, producing approximately a million tons of green hydrogen per year. The amount corresponds to 7% of the European Union’s expected need for hydrogen in 2030.
From the island, it will be possible to export hydrogen to Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands via a 275km offshore pipelines.
Start-up is likely to be reached by the end of the decade.
