The University of Cyprus is spearheading a project to enhance research and innovation capabilities in floating wind turbines and the production and use of green hydrogen.

According to a university statement, the project, titled “Twinning for Excellence in Floating Wind Turbines and Hydrogen Systems” (TETHYS), is part of the Horizon Europe program. It brings together leading expertise from Italy, Denmark, and Greece.

The TETHYS project focuses on addressing key challenges in integrating energy from offshore wind turbines with hydrogen production systems (FOW-H2). This energy will primarily target the maritime and port sectors, aiming to facilitate the transition to net-zero emissions.

“Through intensive collaboration, training, and networking, TETHYS will enhance research excellence by building on existing and new partnerships with leading institutions and industry stakeholders at both the national and international levels,” the university stated.

The project seeks to drive innovation in FOW-H2 systems, strengthen Cyprus’s position in the global green energy transition, and establish a robust ecosystem for research and development.

TETHYS also encourages the active participation of a broad range of stakeholders, including industry professionals, public sector entities, research institutions, citizens, and other relevant organizations. Throughout the project, targeted dissemination activities will take place, providing participation opportunities, with announcements to be made in advance.
