Ohmium International, a green hydrogen company that designs, manufactures and deploys advanced Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer solutions, signed a Term Sheet with SwitcH2 BV, a renewable energy Joint Venture with partners such as BW Offshore, a leading provider of offshore production solutions.

Under the agreement, Ohmium will develop PEM electrolyzer solutions for a pioneering 300MW offshore floating green hydrogen and ammonia synthesis project led by SwitcH2.

Located off the coast of Southern Europe, the project will create an industrial-scale floating green hydrogen and ammonia production facility based on proven Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) technologies. 300 MW of Ohmium’s PEM electrolyzer solutions will be installed on board SwitcH2’s 268 meter Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel.

When complete, the 300MW floating facility will have an annual production capacity of up to 55,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and almost 300kton of green ammonia—enough to fuel multiple oceangoing vessels for a full year.

Ohmium’s PEM electrolyzers will utilize nearshore solar and wind power, along with treated seawater, to produce green hydrogen. The hydrogen will be fed into an on-deck ammonia synthesis unit, and the resulting product will eventually be offloaded onto an ammonia carrier for transport to offtakers.

With support from the Dutch government and approval in principle for its design by the Norwegian certification agency DNV, the project anticipates green ammonia production by 2029.
