A wind turbine system comprises a vessel; a wind turbine mounted to the vessel, the wind turbine comprising rotor blades configured to convert an airstream to rotational shaft power, and an electrical generator configured to convert the rotational shaft power to electrical power; a hydrogen production system configured to be powered by the electrical generator; a propulsion system configured to propel the vessel via power from the electrical generator; and a steering system to control orientation of the vessel relative to the water and the airstream. A method of producing hydrogen comprises floating a vessel in open sea in areas of wind; rotating a wind turbine with the wind to produce electrical energy; synthesizing hydrogen gas from seawater utilizing the electrical energy from the wind turbine; storing the hydrogen gas in a storage system transported by the vessel; and offloading the hydrogen from the storage system.
