Saipem unveils technological solution for offshore green hydrogen production

Technology

Saipem has announced the launch of SUISO, a technological solution for the production of green hydrogen thus confirming its commitment to support its clients in the energy transition

The trademark has been registered with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

SUISO combines various renewable energy sources such as floating wind, floating solar and marine energy in a single system. The aim is to power, together or individually, electrolyses installed on existing offshore platforms for the production of green hydrogen.

The technology responds to the growing demand for green hydrogen production and, at the same time, it allows the conversion of oil and gas offshore facilities which have now reached the end of their life cycle. The oxygen resulting from this process can be used in various areas such as aquaculture or seaweed production.

Thanks to these features, SUISO will find its first application in the AGNES project, the offshore energy hub that Saipem, in partnership with QINT'X, intends to build off the Adriatic coast of Ravenna. 

Francesco Caio, CEO of Saipem, commented, “The know-how gained in the design and execution of infrastructures and technologically advanced plants allows Saipem to cover the green hydrogen production value chain and to be a strategic partner in the path towards a net zero economy.”
