Offshore staffABERDEEN, UK — Apollo has completed a DEFINE study for the Net Zero Technology Centre for the Hydrogen Offshore Production Project (HOP2). The aim is to develop large-scale offshore green hydrogen production through repurposing oil and gas infrastructure in the UK North Sea and to investigate potential construction of new offshore facilities. Apollo’s team focused on reuse of existing offshore structures while maintaining safety and operational efficiency. Main considerations included safety, efficiency and structural integrity for the hydrogen production process, encompassing water treatment, electrolysis and compression. The study recommended pursuing repurposing of existing assets while also stressing the importance of collaboration with suppliers to develop electrolyser designs suitable for offshore application.
