BP eyes second 250MW electrolyser at Rotterdam
Company studies feasibility of facility to supply hydrogen feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel production
BP is studying the feasibility of deploying a 250MW electrolyser at its Rotterdam refining complex to supply green hydrogen feedstock for the production of 10,000bl/d of sustainable aviation fuel. The project is in addition to the existing 250MW H2-Fifty project at the port of Rotterdam, which will produce 50,000t/yr of hydrogen to decarbonise the refinery. BP and project partner Dutch hydrogen development company Hycc expect to make FID on H2-Fifty next year. Plans for the second electrolyser at Rotterdam emerged as BP said it had bid for two Dutch offshore wind leases with a potential capacity of 1.4GW. It said it would use the output of the windfarms to power a total 500MW of electrolyser
