Integrating Hydrogen Production with Offshore Wind Energy and Its Environmental Aspects: A Review

Green hydrogen, generated by water electrolysis, stands out as a vital solution in addressing global decarbonization goals. As a result, there has been a growing focus in recent years on utilizing electrolysis for large scale production of green hydrogen to power renewable energy-based plants, as well as various industrial and transportation purposes. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the technological advancements and challenges associated with the production of green hydrogen from offshore wind energy in India. Green hydrogen holds immense promise as a clean and sustainable energy carrier, particularly in the context of India's ambitious renewable energy targets. Offshore wind energy, coupled with electrolysis technology, offers a viable pathway for large scale green hydrogen production. This review work examines the current state of offshore wind energy and electrolysis technologies, identifies key challenges, and provides critical insights into the feasibility and potential of green hydrogen production in the Indian context.
