The world’s first offshore wind–green hydrogen pilot has just produced its first green hydrogen off the coast of France. Wind-generated electricity can power water electrolysis – that’s the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen – to produce green hydrogen, and this is exactly what just happened. French green hydrogen company Lhyfe announced that its offshore wind–green hydrogen pilot, a 200-square-meter (2,153-square-foot) platform called Sealhyfe, has…

South Fork Wind, New York State’s first offshore wind farm, has achieved its “steel in the water” milestone with the installation of the project’s first monopile foundation.  South Fork Wind will next install the first US-built offshore substation. Hundreds of US workers and three Northeast ports will support South Fork Wind’s construction through late fall. The project, which is expected to complete on time, will power around 70,000 New York homes when it comes online at the end of 2023.…

Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm to date will feature recyclable wind turbine blades made by Siemens Gamesa. In 2022, renewable energy giant RWE became the first commercial, large-scale offshore developer to install Siemens Gamesa’s recyclable wind turbine blade technology, RecyclableBlade, at its Kaskasi offshore wind farm in Germany. (The blades pictured above are at Kaskasi.) RecyclableBlades will also be installed on 44 out of 100 turbines at the Sofia wind farm, which RWE is building…

Who Goes There? During yesterday’s Xbox Games Showcase, publisher Secret Mode released a creepy teaser trailer for a new horror title, Still Wakes the Deep, which is currently in development for PC and Gen9 consoles. Developed by The Chinese Room in Unreal 5, Still Wakes the Deep sees an offshore oil rig in the North Sea under siege by a mysterious and terrifying entity. It’s 1975, a storm is raging, and something has come aboard the Beira D rig. With lines of communication severed and escape seemingly impossible,…

A cargo ship struck an offshore wind turbine at the 330-megawatt (MW) Gode Wind 1 wind farm in the German North Sea – now we know why. The ship hit a turbine at Danish wind giant Ørsted’s Gode 1 off the German coast in April because it was on autopilot and kilometers off course, according to German media. Gode 1’s monitoring systems did not register the ship hitting the wind turbine. Ørsted says it did not contact the ship’s captain for that reason, and it also said that the ship entered…

The first US-built offshore wind substation is complete and headed to South Fork Wind – a major milestone for the US offshore wind industry. Offshore substations collect and stabilize power that the wind turbines generate, preparing it for transmission to shore. South Fork Wind’s 1,500-ton, 60-foot-tall substation was designed and engineered in Kansas, and built near Corpus Christi by Kiewit Offshore Services, the largest offshore fabricator in the US. The first US-built offshore wind…

Some offshore users of an official Chinese website providing economic and demographic data on Fujian province across from Taiwan say their access has been restricted, and Beijing said "emergency measures" had been taken to deal with a cyberattack.More than half-a-dozen users with knowledge of the matter said some users outside the mainland have found themselves unable to access the website within the purview of Fujian's statistics bureau. One researcher based in Singapore said he started encountering the curbs in March,…

Annotated seismic cross-section of the Fontanelas volcano. Credit: Pereira and Gamboa, 2023A new study suggests that an extinct offshore volcano in Portugal can potentially store 1.2-8.6 gigatons of carbon dioxide, representing 24-125 years of the country’s industrial emissions. The method involves ‘in situ mineral carbonation,’ where CO2 reacts with specific rock elements to create new, safely stored minerals. This efficient and quick method could pave the way for using other offshore volcanoes globally for carbon…

Annotated seismic cross-section of the Fontanelas volcano. Credit: Pereira and Gamboa, 2023 A new study published in Geology concludes that an extinct volcano off the shore of Portugal could store as much as 1.2–8.6 gigatons of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of ~24–125 years of the country's industrial emissions. For context, in…
