So a lot of the bigger hydrogen projects in Europe are doing that except at the onshore connection point.
Electrolyzers are hideously expensive so you probably don’t want to cosite them on the actual wind turbine itself. But IIRC there is a pilot project to build a “hub” in the North Sea like this.

- ben_w 3y ago> Electrolyzers are hideously expensive I can easily believe the piping is hideously expensive, likewise the storage, but I find it difficult to believe that the actual electrolysers themselves are expensive, given I built a small one at such a young age I’m not even sure how old I was (single digit, but apart from that, IDK).
- lazide 3y agoefficient hydrolyzers are expensive, both to build and to maintain, especially if they use seawater. Sticking wires in saltwater is cheap.
