Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy announced today that they will invest €120 million over five years to develop a turbine that will convert wind energy into Hydrogen. The companies are hoping to provide a full-scale offshore demonstration of the solution by 2025/2026.
The offshore wind-to-hydrogen solution will produce large-scale, cost-efficient, green hydrogen from renewable wind powered energy.
Siemens Gamesa (GCTAF) will invest €80 million and will adapt its development of the world’s most powerful turbine, the SG14-222 DD offshore wind turbine, to integrate an electrolysis system that will be developed by Siemens Energy, into the turbine’s operations. Siemens Energy will invest €40 million in the project.
Andreas Nauen, Siemens Gamesa CEO, said, “Our more than 30 years of experience and leadership in the offshore wind industry, coupled with Siemens Energy’s expertise in electrolyzers, brings together brilliant minds and cutting-edge technologies to address the climate crisis… It makes me very proud that our people are a part of shaping a greener future.” (See GCTAF stock analysis on TipRanks)
