Shell has taken the final investment decision to build Europe’s largest renewable hydrogen plant at on the Tweede Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam. The plant will be operational by 2025.
Named Holland Hydrogen I, the 200MW electrolyser will be constructed to produce up to 60,000 kg of renewable hydrogen per day.
The renewable power for the electrolyser will come from the offshore wind farm Hollandse Kust (noord), which is partly owned by Shell.
The renewable hydrogen produced will supply the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam, by way of a new hydrogen pipeline through the Port of Rotterdam, where it will replace some of the grey hydrogen usage in the refinery. Shell said this would partially decarbonise the facility’s production of energy products like petrol and diesel and jet fuel.
