OWPST TITAN HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT

  

Offshore wind projects can have environmental impacts, however, the overall impact is considered relatively low compared to other energy sources due to the lack of emissions during operation.


Understanding the global impact of offshore wind farms (OWF) on biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES) is crucial in developing sustainable energy transition pathways.


It has been suggested that, if appropriately managed and designed, the future deployment of OWF may increase biodiversity and may have the potential to produce positive environmental benefits for society.

OWPST Technology supports Future MEGA Data Centers


    

Offshore Wind Power Systems of Texas, Inc. (OWPST) is a total green energy company that uses its patented mobile offshore platform, the "TITAN," to generate power from wind and ocean resources.

OWPST technology is designed to address the intensive energy and water demands of modern mega data centers by producing a totally green zero-carbon, uninterruptible power supply.


OWPST's TITAN technology for Mega Data Centers 


OWPST's TITAN platforms are modular, jack-up wind turbine systems that are constructed on land and towed to a desired offshore location. The platforms can be placed in deep water without disruptive seabed piling and can withstand Category 5 hurricane-force winds. The technology offers an integrated, all-in-one solution for powering data centers with totally green renewable resources.


Key features and benefits of the TITAN system include: 

  • High-output green energy: The platforms are scalable and can be equipped with generators up to 12 megawatts, with designs for 15–30 megawatt systems for future expansion.
  • Green hydrogen production: In addition to electricity, the platforms can produce green hydrogen (H2) by using desalinated water from the feedstock of wind and sea water.  This is then piped to on shore facilities and with electrolysis is converted to a pure green fuel. 
  • Onsite desalination and water treatment: The TITAN platforms produce high-purity desalinated water using wind power. This water is used for hydrogen production, but can also be supplied to data centers and other onshore facilities for use in cooling systems, which can significantly reduce freshwater consumption.
  • Mineral extraction: The process of desalination produces concentrated brine, a waste product that is typically discarded.    The TITAN system is designed to process the brine to extract valuable minerals and salts for agricultural and pharmaceutical industries, eliminating waste.
  • Uninterrupted power: OWPST's systems are designed with onsite backup power, ensuring a continuous energy supply to its clients, including mega data centers.
  • Reduced environmental impact: The mobile platforms rest on the seabed with minimal disruption and can be easily relocated. The green energy production also helps clients meet zero-carbon goals. 


OWPST's role in the Data Center Industry


The technology is positioned as a solution for the growing challenge of powering massive data centers, particularly those supporting energy-intensive AI workloads. The integrated approach of generating power, producing green hydrogen, and creating high-purity water directly from the ocean addresses several major concerns for mega data center operators: 


Power shortages: The large-scale, dedicated power generation can bypass reliance on a strained electrical grid.


Sustainability goals: The zero-carbon nature of the wind and hydrogen power allows data centers to meet ambitious environmental, social, and governance targets.


Water scarcity: By providing onsite desalinated water for cooling, the technology offers a solution for data centers located in coastal regions facing limited freshwater supplies.


  

OWPST’s Solution for Mega Data Center Energy Requirements

OWPST markets a solution for mega data centers that includes green hydrogen production and large-capacity on-site storage for a minimum of 72 hours of uninterrupted power. Our energy storage is based on the conversion of the feedstock of wind and sea water into storable green hydrogen fuel. In addition our technology offers desalinated water for cooling. 


OWPST's energy generation and storage process

OWPST's system using its patented offshore platform called the TITAN, which performs the following function


Energy generation: The TITAN platform utilizes high-output offshore wind turbines to generate  renewable electricity and desalinated water.


Hydrogen production: Excess energy from the wind turbines is used to produce "Green Hydrogen" through electrolysis.


Desalination: The process also incorporates a deionization system that turns seawater into pure water, which is then used as a feedstock for the green hydrogen production or by itself for Data Center cooling requirements.


On-site storage: The produced hydrogen which can be initially stored in salt domes and deionized water in on-site storage in an amount capable of providing a data center with at least 72 hours of uninterrupted power. The reserve hydrogen storage is stored in a cryogenic liquid state.  A combination liquid / gas storage system will be incorporated in the overall system requirements.


Delivery: The green hydrogen is transferred or delivered via rail transport on a daily basis in specially designed containers to land-based facilities, where the main power supply consists of multiple hydrogen powered turbine/generator system. 


System Requirements: As an example for a system requiring three (3) GW peek capacity of uninterrupted power three x 1 GW scale units will supply the Green electric power to the load requirement, which is monitored in a closed loop control system. All generators are synergized and feed a smoothing capacitor bank to eliminate spikes and maintain specification to the power needs of the system. The system will include an additional set of power generation as a stand-by power source set to idle and available as a hot stand-by.


Data Center Systems: The computer systems will be encased and serviced by a super cooling system using a specialized cooling fluid with a temperature range capable of maintaining a specified operating range to eliminate temperature spikes from occurring and therefore maintaining a constant power load to the system specification.


Advantages for data centers

This system is designed to address the challenges faced by mega data centers, particularly those related to the grid and sustainability.

 

Grid independence: The solution provides a reliable, self-sufficient power source, reducing reliance on public electricity grids that are already straining to support growing data center energy demands.


Sustainability and decarbonization: OWPST's process produces zero-carbon power by relying on renewable wind energy and green hydrogen. This helps data centers meet their carbon reduction and environmental sustainability goals.


  

Reliable backup power: The on-site hydrogen storage eliminates the need for backup diesel generators, which are costly, noisy, and produce harmful emissions. The system provides a minimum of 72 hours of continuous backup power


OWPST has been in operation since 2010 and its technology is fully developed, patented, insurable and ready for deployment. Our website www.owpst.com provides a significant amount of additional information that is pertinent to our history, our very experienced team of personnel along with OWPST products and services offered to our client base.

PRESS RELEASE

World's Largest Offshore GREEN HYDROGEN PROJECT

Green Hydrogen MOU agreement has been Reached between Vedomi Fueling GmbH and Offshore Wind Power Systems of Texas Inc. (OWPST) 

   

Vedomi Fueling GmbH has agreed to begin good faith negotiations with Offshore Wind Power Systems of Texas Inc. (OWPST) for a long-term Hydrogen Purchase Agreement. Vedomi Fueling GmbH and OWPST each currently have an interest in the timely development of the Project. The product will be “Green Hydrogen” and will produce zero emissions with Vedomi Fueling GmbH as the “buyer” of all the Green Hydrogen produced from this project. OWPST has been working in conjunction with the Scottish Development Enterprise Group concerning this project. Therefore, the Green Hydrogen will be produced in a selected area off the coast of Scotland. Green Hydrogen production of approximately 1,200 tons per day will be sold to Vedomi for use in transportation needs in pre-constructed stations in multiple countries in Europeor sold as a fuel for the industry in the European market. 

Offshore Wind Power Systems of Texas Inc. or OWPST is a Dallas-based company that designs, manufactures, deploys, and operates water desalination (sea recovery) plants for coastal and island communities around the world. The company was founded in 2010 by Mr. Douglas Hines who is the CEO, and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Hines developed this enterprise in the offshore oil and gas industry where he has held responsibilities for the design, manufacture, deployment, and operation of jack-up substructures. 

The Titan Wind Turbine Platform was created by OWPST to economically support a single wind turbine in water depths up to 100 meters. By using proven methods for designing jack-up drilling rigs the patented Titan Wind Turbine Platform, was designed to solve the deepwater dilemma. 

The TITAN Ocean Naiad represents a generational breakthrough in cost-effective seawater desalination applications. As a stand-alone platform, it can produce up to 30 million gallons of clean drinkable water per day, enough to meet the needs of 100,000 families of four. Powered by wind energy, the TITAN nearly eliminates the high cost of power electricity needed to demineralize seawater for drinking or to desalinate and deionize seawater for producing green hydrogen. 

Green hydrogen is not produced onboard the TITAN but will be produced offshore on a newly designed hydrogen production platform facility that is fed desalinated deionized water directly from the offshore TITAN. Having the feedstock for hydrogen production being produced with a negligible cost for power means that the production of green hydrogen will cost less than hydrogen produced by conventional means. 

This project’s business model is such that OWPST will perpetually retain ownership and operational responsibility for the TITAN offshore platforms and offshore plants. OWPST will develop the infrastructure (balance of plant) needed to build out, launch, and operate the TITAN offshore systems as well as the offshore elements of green hydrogen production. 

Additional information can be found on our website at www.owpst.com

  

Vedomi Fueling GmbH based in Duesseldorf, Germany, operates as developer and financier of European supply chains for the delivery of low carbon energy carriers. 

The company was established in November 2023 by founders Mr. Christian Benigni, CEO and Dr. Philipp Hensler, CIO. Mr. Benigni and Dr. Hensler look back on more than 25 years of experience in most senior roles in the global financial industry where they have also been involved in noteworthy transactions in the energy sector.  

They founded Vedomi Fueling GmbH to fully focus on making alternative energy solutions available at competitive price points. Vedomi Fueling GmbH recognises the importance of low carbon energy carriers for the decarbonisation of Europe’s “hard-to-abate” industry sectors. Germany in particular has to import an estimated 70% of low carbon energy carriers to achieve its decarbonisation goals. 

Vedomi Fueling GmbH’s approach to support a European energy transition starts with respective demand aggregation from industry at one end of global supply chains, complemented by securing sufficient future supply from leading providers like OWPST. 

We are delighted to have found OWPST as our partner in that regard and look forward to a mutually beneficial, long-term partnership with Doug Hines and his team.

The U.S. Gulf Coast is a natural fit to build a new clean hydrogen industry, though initial uncertainties over regulations and politics mean it may take longer than hoped.

o US hammers out hydrogen hubs' final details


The Gulf Coast already produces a third of the country’s hydrogen at 3.5 million tons (Mt) a year. It has the largest hydrogen pipeline network in United States of over a thousand miles, and boasts three of the world’s six salt storage caverns.


The center of the U.S.’s oil and gas industry, the region around Houston, Texas has the country’s largest renewable energy market with 36 GW of wind power and 15 GW of solar. It aso has a highly skilled energy workforce, and approximately 2.4 billion tons of CO2 storage capacity.

The region is home to major ports that already export energy products, including the Port of Corpus Christi and the Port of Houston, as well as some of the top refineries in the country.

“The Gulf Coast is the most attractive region in the world to produce hydrogen; cheap feedstock, existing infrastructure like pipelines and storage, domestic consumption that creates the demand, existing expertise, in terms of large companies, etc.,” says Partner at McKinsey Nikhil Ati.

Ati focuses on strategy, oil & gas, and energy transition at the consultancy firm.

“There are lots of reasons we remain very confident that, if there is to be a hydrogen industry at scale, it will happen out of Houston.”


In Texas, clean hydrogen demand could reach 21 Mt a year, according to McKinsey in its study ‘Unlocking clean hydrogen in the US Gulf Coast: The here and now’.

With 30%-60% of the planned projects located in communities that will be most impacted, the industry could create around 180,000 direct, indirect, and induced jobs, and generate around $100 billion in additional GDP by 2050, the group says.


Government plans


The Gulf Coast HyVelocity Hub is one of the seven regional hydrogen hubs planned across the country as part of the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs Program (H2Hubs) and  is expected to be one of the largest. The project will receive up to $1.2 billion from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

Once the definition of clean hydrogen has been decided, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will also provide billions of dollars in tax benefits for hydrogen production (45V), carbon sequestration (45Q), and renewable energy generation (Section 45).

HyVelocity has seven project sponsors (AES, Air Liquide, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Mitsubishi Power, Orsted and Sempra Infrastructure) working on nine projects focused on four demand areas: ammonia, petrochemical and refining, ground transportation, and power and utilities.

“HyVelocity is building on many years of experience, decades of partnerships … taking positive advantage of an ecosystem and infrastructure that already exists and expanding upon it to meet emission reduction goals,” says Executive Director of the HyVelocity Hub Liz Dalton.


The hub is in the planning stage, followed by permitting, construction, and operation which is expected to be implemented by the mid-to-late 2030s.

Consistent with the DOE phases for award, the hub team will engage with communities to ensure the hub serves them best.

“We want to know what their concerns are, what they're interested in learning more about, where their job interests lie, what are their challenges, and how we can make sure that we bring jobs and economic opportunity to bear through these projects,” Dalton says.

However, until the clean hydrogen definitions are finalized later this year, Dalton is concerned the continuing uncertainty will make it difficult to start building community trust.

The hub directors in February penned a joint letter to the Secretary of Treasury commenting on the narrow guidance of the initial 45V proposal which, they said, "may have far-reaching negative consequences for the entire domestic clean hydrogen industry."


HyVelocity Envisioned Projects 



Ready to go 


One group which says it is not relying on government help and is ready to focus on hydrogen production is Offshore Wind Power Systems of Texas (OWPST), an offshore wind and water desalination company operating out of Dallas.

“We desalinate and then (deionize) water from offshore, bring it in on pipeline, send it to storage, send it to the electrolyzers and we use the same renewable energy power from offshore to power the entire system,” says CEO and President of OWPST Doug Hines.

The company, which Hines says has the financing and insurance deals already agreed upon but will take IRA money if it’s offered, can have hydrogen production of some 1,000 tons a day within 60 months of an order. Around 24-30 months of that timeframe is just to order the necessary electrolyzers, he says.

“It's taken us about 20 years to get to this point, and it’s been blood, sweat, and tears all the way. Because of that, we’re competitive without the subsidies and we’re bringing our product to the market right now,” says Hines.

One challenge for the group is political wrangling, he says.


President Joe Biden has bet heavily on environmentally-friendly projects, such as the hydrogen industry, through large funding bills such as the IRA and the IIJA, however deep political divides over climate change mean many projects could be overturned if he is ousted by Donald Trump in November’s election.


These tensions can already be felt at a local level.


Offshore projects wind projects along the Gulf Coast are currently being held up by the Texas Land Commissioner, which is resisting efforts to auction projects, claiming in a letter to the Biden administration that The White House is "force-feeding Americans failed ‘green’ policies".

Offshore Wind Power Systems of Texas Inc.

OWPST

                                                                                                                                               

Offshore Wind Power Systems of Texas, henceforth referred to as OWPST, is a Dallas-based company that designs, manufactures, deploys, and operates water desalination (sea recovery) plants for coastal and island communities around the world. The company was founded in 2010 by Mr. Douglas Hines who remains the principal owner of the company, the CEO, and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Hines spun this enterprise from the offshore oil and gas industry where he has held responsibilities in the design, manufacture, deployment, and operation of jackup substructures.


Offshore Wind Power Systems of Texas LLC. The company was formed to leverage learnings of oilfield technology and knowledge gained over the last 30 years. This, combined with extensive knowledge of energy projects in US, Asia and Europe, as well as presences there will allow the company to pursue opportunities in the development of a business element for offshore wind farms. Wind turbine foundations using piles driven into the ocean floor have been used to support wind turbines in shallow waters but these structures present many challenges as water depth increases. The Titan Wind Turbine Platform was created by OWPST to economically support a single wind turbine in water depths up to 100 meters. By using proven methods for designing jack-up drilling rigs the patented Titan Wind Turbine Platform, (US Pat. 7163355 Mobile Wind-Driven Electric Generating Systems and Methods), evolved and was designed to solve the deepwater dilemma through various innovate features including:


No at sea state assembly, therefore no $500K - 1 Million /day heavy lift vessels required


Self installing platform allowing quick, lower cost development of wind farm construction


Re-deployable and least sea floor damage resulting in lower decommissioning


Stable 25-year design life using proven offshore methods, certifiable design, Category 5 storm tolerant


Capable of up to 100 meter water depths, scaleable for larger systems


1/3 lower deployment costs over traditional platforms.








Green Hydrogen Production

OWPST - 100 % NO CARBON Green(H2)Hydrogen

The OWPST business proposition includes an option for production and onshore storage of deionized (DI) water that has been created offshore on the TITAN platform. The onshore storage facility and adjacent green(H2) hydrogen production plant will be created, operated, and maintained by OWPST through a partnership with GHD, the world’s premier desalination and hydrogen production company. In addition to green(H2) hydrogen production, OWPST and GHD together bring a full range of support services for the entire project, including environmental impact studies and permitting, marine and coastal engineering, water pump station and treatment experience, and design of pipelines and storage tanks.


Storing DI water and locating the electrolysis plant onshore provides the best opportunity for safe operations. In general terms, OWPST’s in-country onshore base of operations will include a substation for the electrical point of common connection to the grid, scalable DI water storage and containment, a distribution system for both potable and DI water, and green(H2) hydrogen production and distribution. Other onshore services included in the base of operations include supervisory control of all plant systems (both onshore and offshore), maintenance, parts and equipment storage, and fluid feeds for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolysis processes.


OWPST’s base design for green(H2) hydrogen production will achieve 160,000 cubic meters of hydrogen every 12 days, which is the average turn time required for a single ocean transport vessel designed to accommodate this quantity of liquid hydrogen. Production quantities may be scaled upward as more ocean transport vessels become available.


In compliance with established international and industry standards that govern planning,designs, and operations, all produced green(H2) hydrogen will be stored and transported in liquid form (LH2) at cryogenic temperatures (-253°C). GHD is partnered with OWSPT to develop the green(H2) hydrogen production plant and operations center based on their extensive global experience. GHD has developed liquid hydrogen plants around the world.
