Floating green ammonia floating plant project moves forward

The OFFSET floating green ammonia plant will be connected to a wind farm and will use thermoplastic composite piping to transport the hydrogen produced.

The OFFSET floating green ammonia floating plant project, led by SwitcH2 BV of the Netherlands and BW Offshore of Norway, has made significant progress with the completion of a technical feasibility study by chemical engineering firm Thyssenkrupp Uhde. This study is crucial to determine the technical feasibility of the project, using the advanced ammonia synthesis technologies of German engineering.

Companies involved in the floating green ammonia plant

In 2023, Thyssenkrupp Uhde joined the OFFSET project to carry out this detailed analysis. The collaboration includes several leading entities such as MARIN, TU Delft and Strohm, forming a consortium dedicated to the development of a floating green hydrogen and ammonia production plant. green hydrogen and ammonia based on the proven floating production and offloading vessel (FPSO) concept.

The plant is scheduled to connect to an adjacent wind farm in 2027, with the goal of producing hydrogen that can be transported to land via existing pipelines or through new thermoplastic composite pipelines (TCP). The ammonia generated will be distributed to end users using tanker trucks, facilitating efficient and safe transportation.

Strohm’s innovation for the SwitcH2 project

SwitcH2, as the lead developer, will coordinate the entire project program, while BW Offshore will be responsible for the hull design, mooring system and topside layout.

Delft Technical University (TU Delft) will lead research on the direct use of seawater in the electrolysis process, developing innovative technologies for seawater electrolysis. Strohm will contribute its patented non-corrosive thermoplastic composite piping technology, essential for the safe storage and discharge of hydrogen.

For its part, the Netherlands-based MARIN test center will provide its advanced wave basins for hydrodynamic performance testing on a scale model of the final plant design. With a €3 million grant from the Dutch government and approval in principle from DNV for design principles, the project is expected to enable offshore ammonia production using renewable energy sources by 2029.
