Given the distances between the northern and southern islands a physical electrical link would involve more than 50 km of submarine cables and 3 large transformers (one at the start and two at the end), which would result in an unacceptable additional cost of around €12 million, hence the idea of supplying
the remote islands with competitive green hydrogen generators

With a peak power of 532 KW for the 3 central islands, and a classic medium
voltage/low voltage transformer of 25 KVa, the cross-section of the specific cables
remains reasonable, of the order of 240 mm² for losses of less than 1% outside of
the problematic zones (in orange and red).

WHALE PROJECT
Decarbonize the atmosphere &
Reduce acidification by capturing CO2
Reduce acidification by capturing CO2
With an absorption potential of over 40,000,000,000 tonnes of Co2 per year
the Whale project will at the same time make it possible to develop plankton in oceanic deserts
