In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that a project at Zigljen Port on Croatia’s island of Pag is advancing the use of wave energy for green hydrogen production under the North Adriatic Clean Hydrogen Investment Platform (NACHIP).
The “Innovative Green Hydrogen Production from Wave Energy in Zigljen Port (Novalja)” project, led by Leonitus, is valued at $6.37 million and represents the first initiative of its kind in Europe within the NACHIP framework, according to the report.
According to NACHIP, the technology combines submerged absorbers and dissipators to convert wave motion into compressed air and hydrogen with a 1 MW capacity. The system features year-round storage with emphasis on winter output. A multifunctional breakwater protects the port from erosion, integrates solar generation and a sea vaporizer, and supports shellfish farming, the report added.
