Method of producing hydrogen from wind power generation
Hydrogen production from deep offshore wind energy is a promising solution to unlock affordable electrolytic hydrogen at scale. Deep offshore locations can result in an increased capacity factor of generated wind power to 60–70%, 4–5 times that of onshore locations.

NREL's wind-to-hydrogen (Wind2H2) demonstration project links wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) arrays to electrolyzer stacks, which pass the generated electricity through water to split it into hydrogen and oxygen.
Hydrogen produced using renewable energy from offshore wind provides a versatile method of energy storage and power-to-gas concepts. However, few dedicated floating offshore electrolyser facilities currently exist and therefore conditions of the offshore environment on hydrogen production cost and efficiency remain uncertain.
Here the authors consider the production of hydrogen by electrolysis fueled by offshore wind power in China, and the potential for delivery to Japan as part of Japan’s transition.
For hydrogen production techniques, promising novel approaches such as hydrogen production via photoelectrochemical reactions in sea-water, and dehydrogenation of waste/non-food biomass offer up the potential for low-cost highly efficient hydrogen production.
