Green Hydrogen from offshore wind farms

The Uruguayan Government has just announced that it would offer maritime areas for the installation of offshore wind farms aimed at the production and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives. The State-owned oil company (so-called “ANCAP”) plans to issue an international call for interested companies. This would be the first open round in the world for the production of green hydrogen in offshore areas.

Through this process, four (4) dates will be set for companies to submit their bids for four (4) different maritime areas.

An Executive Branch decree issued a few days ago, authorized ANCAP to enter into contracts with third parties in order to conduct feasibility studies for the evaluation and potential production of green hydrogen and/or derivatives from renewable energy.

Such areas would be located approximately 42 kilometers from the coast and will have an average surface area of approximately 270 square miles, with an energy production potential of 3 GW and a green hydrogen production potential of 200,000 tons per year.

The format proposed for the above contracts would contemplate evaluation periods which would range between two (2) and ten (10) years.
