A Singapore-based offshore wind developer has signed an agreement to build a huge $10 billion wind farm off the coast of Ireland to power a green hydrogen facility.
Green hydrogen -- produced by renewable electricity -- is seen as a clean alternative to natural gas for industries such as steel and chemicals, with energy majors from Equinor ASA to BP Plc piling in to the technology. Europe has a goal of 6 gigawatts of installed green hydrogen by 2024, and 40 gigawatts by 2030.
