Good ingredients but bad cocktail: Combining offshore wind and green hydrogen is still too expensive - Rystad Energy
13 Jan 2021
Several large-scale offshore wind farms are planned in the next five years in the North Sea. The area not only has plenty of ageing platforms and pipelines that could host production and transmission of hydrogen cheaply, but also salt caverns to store it at low cost.
Rystad Energy has therefore looked at the economics of blending green hydrogen production with offshore wind development. This hybrid approach offers promising elements, but the high costs – at least for now – remain a show-stopper.
Rystad Energy’s modelling is based on combining a green hydrogen project with an offshore wind farm of 1 gigawatt (GW), assuming that about half of the farm’s generated power is excess and used for hydrogen production. The analysis shows that at current break-even costs, the bulk of the hydrogen produced needs to be sold at EUR 5.1 per kilogram (kg), or

A story in Saturday s Hawke s Bay Today revealing drivers licence statistics prompted Dannevirke resident Roger Ramsden to speak out about life after failing his driving test.
Saturday s story dealt with the number of people who had sat their test for their restricted licence, not older drivers who faced regular retesting, and revealed that of the 447 tests in Dannevirke in 2020, 283 passed meaning a success rate of 62 per cent.
Australia: Woodside given approval for Greater Western Flank-3 Development and the Lambert Deep Development
14 Jan 2021
Greater Western Flank-3 (GWF-3) Development and the
Lambert Deep (LD) Development, subsea tie-backs to the GWA and Angel facilities respectively. The following activities are proposed:
drilling and development of three GWF-3 production wells
drilling and development of one LD production well
installation and pre-commissioning of flowlines, production manifold (LD only), umbilicals complete with umbilical termination assemblies, hydraulic flying leads and electrical flying leads
tie-in to existing subsea infrastructure
pull-in of the LD flowline and LD umbilical to the Angel Platform via existing, unused J-tubes
pre-commissioning of the new subsea infrastructure.
