Scope of WorkTo Build 10-GW offshore wind hub for green hydrogen in the town of Eemshaven. DescriptionShell presented the plan and said new partners are welcome to join the tie-up. The companies plan to kick off this year the feasibility study for the so-called NortH2 project which aims to reach an annual production of 800000 tonnes of green hydrogen by 2040 with power from up to 10 GW of offshore wind turbines in the North Sea. An offshore wind complex of between 3 GW and 4 GW is planned to be installed by 2030 while the capacity could be expanded to 10 GW by 2040 with the addition of more turbines.The electrolyser unit will be located in the town of Eemshaven along the northern coast with initial production starting in 2027 powered by the first completed wind farms.
