Offshore trial successfully completed

The H2Mare PtX-Wind project has successfully demonstrated the world’s first production of synthetic fuels on a floating platform. The pilot plant was constructed in the port of Bremerhaven and subsequently deployed in the North Sea off the coast of Heligoland. The platform operated round the clock for over two weeks and has now provided evidence that Power-to-X processes can operate reliably even under harsh offshore conditions.

World premiere! Floating test platform for Power-to-X production launched

The flagship hydrogen project H2Mare has commissioned the world’s first floating test platform in Bremerhaven to demonstrate a complete Power-to-X process chain for sustainable fuels. On the platform, e-fuels are produced from green hydrogen via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis under real-world conditions on the high seas. The research conducted on the platform provides important insights for the development of larger Power-to-X plants.
