Hydrogen-producing ship will use wind
Bremerhaven, Germany: A former coastal tanker is being adapted for a new role as a wind plant-fitted, hydrogen production ship. Following completion of the conversion scheme by the end of 2004, the 66 m Hydrogen Challenger will be put into service in the German Bight. It will lie off the wind-scoured Niedersachsen coast or in the vicinity of the island of Helgol, produce hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis, and transport the gaseous cargo to industrial buyers on the mainland.
