RESEARCH HUB FOR AN INTEGRATED GREEN ENERGY SYSTEM REUSING SEALINES FOR H2 STORAGE AND TRANSPORT Autori: Ilaria AntoncecchiData aparitiei: Octombrie / 2020 Revista: Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 10 ISSN: 1843 - 3707 N.A.
In this paper, we propose innovative solutions for reusing an inactive offshore gas platform and its associated infrastructures as a scientific research hub, where an integrated energy system and innovative environmental monitoring methods are envisaged. To this end, the Azalea A platform, located in the northern Adriatic Sea, is considered a good pilot site. This study analyzes the engineering solutions on Azalea A for the combined production of solar and wind energy coupled with hydrogen production from seawater electrolysis. It analyzes the potential for storage and transport on land of the produced hydrogen using the sealines connected to the platform. However, this study does not deal with the current structural conditions of the platform (corrosion, stability etc.), which should be evaluated before these solutions are put into practice. The main outcomes of this work consist in a feasibility study for the reuse of existing infrastructures as a self-sufficient research |
