In Colombia, the development of renewable energies is playing an increasing role in the national energy strategy and the industrial sector. Offshore wind energy appears to be a major lever for meeting the demand for electrification and supporting the production of new forms of energy, including green hydrogen. It is in this context that Royal HaskoningDHV, in partnership with the Embassy of the Netherlands in Colombia, is studying the feasibility of a large-scale project based on the exploitation of marine winds.
The objectives: to determine the maritime areas most suitable for the installation of wind turbines, to assess the necessary port and logistical infrastructures, and then to define the possibilities of producing green hydrogen from this clean energy. The project is at the heart of the Colombian energy transition, seeking to meet the requirements of both environmental sustainability and economic competitiveness. The technical and economic studies carried out must also take into account local geographical, climatic and regulatory realities. The success of such a project would have a significant impact on the decarbonization of the industry and the positioning of Colombia as a key player in the production of green hydrogen.
Royal HaskoningDHV and its partners want to obtain a complete inventory of the offshore wind potential in Colombia and assess the port capacity to support future infrastructure projects. They need a technical and economic feasibility study to validate the possibility of installing offshore wind turbines and then producing hydrogen with a low carbon impact. This analysis should also offer a concrete road map to guide investments and collaboration with local and institutional actors.
Locate the best maritime areas for wind energy and assess port logistics.
Quantifying the necessary investments and the competitiveness of green hydrogen.
Propose an action plan to set up a sustainable offshore sector in Colombia.
As part of the project, Vulcain Engineering provides in-depth technical and economic analyses, taking into account marine conditions, port configurations and the electrification potential of the industry. The team establishes a roadmap to move from a simple feasibility study to the establishment of concrete infrastructures, based on international feedback and expertise in offshore projects. The proposals also take into account regulatory conditions and sustainable development goals set by national authorities, aimed at encouraging the production of renewable energies and the growth of the green hydrogen sector.
Carry out a complete feasibility study, integrating technical and financial aspects.
Define the key steps and governance for the industrial deployment phase.
Adjust the solution to Colombian specificities, in terms of ecology and logistics.
