MAGHIC project opens new perspectives on green hydrogen in the Caribbean
14 march 2023
Farwind Energy’s European MAGHIC project has just been launched.
Arnaud Poitou, president of FARWIND ENERGY, explains “The potential of hydrogen for the Caribbean economy is tremendous. With the technology of the energy ship, which allows to locally produce electricity from far-offshore wind and transform it into hydrogen, the MAGHIC project will make it possible to reshape the role of ports in the energy transition, develop new economic activities and diversify the Caribbean energy system.”
The 15-month project aims to study the feasibility of hydrogen production, unloading and storage infrastructures in ports and to anticipate market needs.
As part of its policy to develop renewable energies in the Eastern Caribbean, the European Union has decided to support the MAGHIC project, which benefits from €1.76M of ERDF funds through the Interreg Caribbean program.
