The invention refers to a wind turbine (1) for a hydrogen generating wind farm (2), comprising a tower (3), a nacelle (4) rotatably attached to a top end (5) of the tower (3), a rotor (6), rotatably located within the nacelle (4), rotor blades (7) attached to the rotor (6) for being impinged by wind to generate rotation of the rotor (6) and a generator (8) mechanically coupled to the rotor (6) for transforming rotational energy of the rotor (6) into electrical energy. The wind turbine (1) further comprises a hydrogen inlet (9) for receiving hydrogen from a hydrogen import pipe (10) at a first pressure, a hydrogen outlet (11) for discharging hydrogen into a hydrogen export pipe (12) at a second pressure and a compressor system (13) with a compressor unit (14) for increasing the pressure of the hydrogen from the first pressure to the second pressure. Furthermore, the invention refers to a Hydrogen generating wind farm (2).
