DOSTA Final Conference
The multidisciplinary NWO-funded research programme started in September 2020 and aimed at addressing challenges relating to the Dutch government’s ambition to develop up to 75 GW offshore wind capacity by 2050.
A consortium of the Universities of Groningen and Utrecht together with a wide range of industrial partners developed the project DOSTA: Developing Offshore Storage and Transport Alternatives.
The DOSTA project aims at examining from a multidisciplinary perspective, offshore energy storage options (electricity pumped storage and conversion to hydrogen) and alternative methods to transport electricity and/or hydrogen to shore and their feasibility for implementation in the Dutch part of the North Sea. This conference marks the end of this 4-year research project.
