Abstract
In this work, we discuss the design of a platform that will utilize the huge potential of hydrogen sulfide in the deep waters of the Black Sea. It will be different from an ordinary oil platform as it will generate energy from hydrogen sulfide instead. The construction of this platform is foreseen as a Green Project. While the platform is cultivating energy out of hydrogen sulfide, it will also be purposed to contribute to the ecosystem at the same time. Once it completes its function, the platform is planned to be fully recycled and recovered.
Intended for the energy generation in the deep waters of the Black Sea, this platform is modelled as a multistage system, which consists of two major parts: (1) Sea water is drawn and processed to generate H2, and (2) the resulting water is purified and released back to the nature. The H2S concentrations are significantly high in 1,500 m and deeper in the Black Sea. Such information, as well as research data and the geographical conditions, is taken into consideration in the design of the platform.
The hydrogen-based energy potential in the Black Sea needs to be added to existing energy sources. Otherwise, the sensitive ecological balance will begin to shift for the worse. Initially, the sea life will be contaminated and become hazardous for human consumption and eventually, it will cease to exist altogether. This platform project is a precursor in generating energy while improving the nature at the same time.
