H₂Ocean – Development of a wind-wave power open-sea platform equipped for hydrogen generation with support for multiple users of energy

The aim of the H₂Ocean project is the development of an offshore platform which will harvest wind and wave power, using part of the energy on-site for multiple applications – including a multi-trophic aquaculture farm, and convert on-site the excess energy into hydrogen that can be stored and shipped to shore as green energy carrier. In the sub-project desalination the main task of IGB will be optimizing RO-membranes with low-fouling properties.

The research leading to results in this project receives funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° 288145.
