System for manufacturing fuel offshore

Abstract

A method and system for manufacturing fuel offshore includes an offshore ocean platform on which an ammonia manufacturing unit is mounted. The ammonia manufacturing unit may manufacture ammonia using raw materials including seawater procured from an adjacent ocean platform and electricity from an offshore wind turbine. The manufactured ammonia may subsequently be liquefied and transported to a location away from the ocean platform or transferred to a remote location via a subsea pipeline. A portion of the hydrogen produced as part of the ammonia manufacturing process may be utilized to operate a mounted combustion turbine, thereby driving a generator on the ocean platform to generate electricity.
