Green infrastructure developer Cerulean Winds has signed an agreement with px Group, a leading operator of large-scale UK industrial facilities, as it moves to progress its plans for an integrated 200-turbine floating wind and hydrogen development in the North Sea.
The Cerulean proposal has capacity to generate 3GWh of power, enough to electrify the majority of offshore facilities, reducing CO2 emissions by more than half from 2025. An excess of 1.5 GWh of power would be diverted to onshore green hydrogen plants, at sites in the North of England, North-east Scotland and Shetland.
