A leading Danish investment firm has proposed a huge artificial “hydrogen island” in the North Sea which would be connected to 10GW of offshore wind, and capable of producing one million tonnes of green hydrogen each year. Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), which has interests in Australia, including with the Star of the South offshore wind project, says the proposed island, to be called BrintØ, or “Hydrogen Island”, could provide up to 7% of Europe’s expected hydrogen use in 2030. The island would be located on the Danish part of Dogger Bank, a massive shallow sandbar stretching across the North Sea from the east coast of England across to within the North Sea boundaries of Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands.
