Repsol is participating, together with a consortium made up of other large companies in the energy sector, in a pioneering project in Norway that uses wind power to extract green hydrogen from seawater, reports Europa Press.
Called ‘Deep Purple’, the development of this system is led by TechnipFMC and includes the participation, together with Repsol, of Vattenfall, ABB, NEL, DNV GL, UMOE and Slattland.
This pilot project, with an initial budget of nine million euros and which has received financial support from the Norwegian state through the institution Innovation Norway, will enable the development of an advanced energy system for the production of green hydrogen powered by offshore wind and will open the door to the consortium partners to prepare the system for large-scale commercial use offshore, said TechnipFMC.
