MetOceanWorks delivering Metocean study for world first project testing integration of hydrogen production with offshore wind

Vattenfall has engaged the technical expertise of MetOceanWorks to deliver metocean design criteria for the planned hydrogen pipeline for the HT1 project. The project is developing the world’s first hydrogen-producing offshore wind turbine, with the electrolyser sited directly onto an existing operational turbine at the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre in Aberdeen Bay. Using state-of-the-art high-resolution modelling techniques and the latest and most robust industry-standard practices, MetOceanWorks’ study will deliver key design criteria for the project.

“We are pleased to be supporting Vattenfall on this project, bringing our experience in highly-detailed numerical modelling and metocean studies in this region to ensure a robust suite of design criteria” said Andrew Watson (Managing Director, MetOceanWorks Ltd).

Vattenfall Metocean Project Manager Matthias Johannsen commented “Having access to reliable design criteria will be hugely important for the team. We are pleased to be working with MetOceanWorks, whose extensive experience is a great asset to the project.”
