The 200MW electrolyser, which will be built on the Tweede Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam, will generate up to 60,000kg of renewable hydrogen each day.

Offshore wind farm Hollandse Kust (noord), which is partly owned by Shell, will supply renewable power for the electrolyser.

The renewable hydrogen will be provided to the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam through the HyTransPort pipeline.

It will replace some of the grey hydrogen used in the refinery.

The use of renewable hydrogen will partly decarbonise the facility’s generation of energy products such as petrol and diesel and jet fuel.

Shell executive vice president for emerging energy solutions Anna Mascolo said: “Holland Hydrogen I demonstrates how new energy solutions can work together to meet society’s need for cleaner energy. It is also another example of Shell’s own efforts and commitment to become a net-zero emissions business by 2050.

“Renewable hydrogen will play a pivotal role in the energy system of the future and this project is an important step in helping hydrogen fulfil that potential.”
