to-the-point: Lagerwey presents hydrogen wind turbine at German event

April 25 (Renewables Now) - Dutch wind turbine manufacturer Lagerwey is presenting its hydrogen wind turbine at the Hannover Messe trade fair in Germany this week.

The 4.8-MW turbine will incorporate electrolysis technology, with the first item scheduled to be installed in 2019 at a wind turbine test field in the Netherlands of research institute ECN. As previously announced, Lagerwey is also cooperating on the project with hydrogen supplier Hygro.

The hydrogen turbine will be offered in two variants -- one for industrial use that converts all wind energy into hydrogen and a hybrid model that provides both electricity and hydrogen, Lagerwey said last week.
