The P-Demo project, also referred to as the SEAWORTHY initiative, aims to launch the world's first floating wind platform that integrates onboard hydrogen production and storage, enabling renewable energy on demand for the grid. Set to be deployed off the coast of Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, the platform combines floating wind and wave energy technologies, representing a groundbreaking advancement in the offshore renewable energy sector.

Petter Øydegard, Asset Manager Blane at Repsol Norge, states: "Repsol Norge AS is pleased to participate in the FPP P-DEMO advisory board. We aim to leverage our expertise to foster innovation and promote sustainable practices within the energy sector. This collaboration supports our commitment to advancing technological development and we anticipate that this partnership will yield valuable insights. "

Describing their involvement, Des Lalor, Technology Manager at ESB, stated: "ESB Innovation are pleased to join the advisory board for the SEAWORTHY project, led by FPP. The project plans to integrate floating wind and wave resources to generate electricity while utilizing excess power to produce and store hydrogen. ESB has an active interest in floating wind, wave energy, and hydrogen production, so this project matches ESBs areas of interest very well. We look forward to working with FPP and all the project partners on this innovative project."

The third newcomer to the advisory board, though currently undisclosed, is recognized as a major worldwide player in the oil and gas industry, bringing valuable expertise and a global perspective to the project.
