This project brings together BPP-Cables and Logan Energy, experts in offshore cabling and H2 production respectively, to produce OptiH2float. OptiH2float is an end-to-end floating wind farm (FWF) design and H2 production optimisation tool. By inputting data concerning weather conditions, shore distance, FWF size, and more, OptiH2float will provide users with quantified energy generation, impacts, costs, and returns, as well as optimisation suggestions for FWF layout, design, and the H2 production process.Economic, social, and political factors are all driving a growing opportunity for green hydrogen (H2). Technological improvements are reducing the cost of H2 for energy production and transport, making it increasingly attractive (40% cheaper by 2030 \[IRENA, 2020\]). The public in the UK and abroad are demanding policy changes in the face of climate change, and in response 33 countries (including the UK) have declared a climate emergency \[CEDAMIA, 2021\]. The UK Government's ambitious target is to cut 78% of carbon emissions by 2035 \[BBC, 2021\].H2 production integrated into floating wind farms (FWF) can meet this opportunity. However, as a new technology there is much industry uncertainty about the feasibility of this approach. A FWF is a significant investment of time and money, and FWF developers want to see expected profitable returns.

该项目汇集了 BPP-Cables 和 Logan Energy（分别是海上布线和氢气生产方面的专家）来生产 OptiH2float。 OptiH2float 是一款端到端浮动风电场 (FWF) 设计和氢气生产优化工具。通过输入有关天气条件、岸距、FWF尺寸等数据，OptiH2float将为用户提供量化的发电量、影响、成本和回报，以及FWF布局、设计和氢气生产过程的优化建议。 、社会和政治因素都在推动绿色氢（H2）的机会不断增长。技术进步正在降低氢气用于能源生产和运输的成本，使其越来越有吸引力（到 2030 年便宜 40%\[IRENA，2020\]）。面对气候变化，英国和国外公众要求改变政策，作为回应，33个国家（包括英国）已宣布进入气候紧急状态\[CEDAMIA，2021\]。英国政府的雄心勃勃的目标是到 2035 年减少 78% 的碳排放\[BBC，2021\]。集成到浮动风电场 (FWF) 的氢气生产可以满足这一机遇。然而，作为一项新技术，这种方法的可行性存在很大的行业不确定性。 FWF 是一项重大的时间和金钱投资，FWF 开发人员希望看到预期的盈利回报。
