Shell expects FID on 300MW of electrolysers in 2022
Third of total expenditure in 2022 to be on low-carbon products, oil major says in an energy transition progress report
Shell is looking to take FIDs on 300MW of electrolyser capacity in 2022 as it accelerates the expansion of its clean hydrogen business, the oil major says in its latest energy transition progress report. The company has so far started up 30MW of electrolyser capacity, with the potential to produce 4,300t/yr of green hydrogen. “We are looking to take FIDs on ten times this capacity in 2022. We own and operate 10pc of global electrolyser capacity today,” Shell says in the report. Shell’s portfolio of electrolysers is dominated by a 20MW facility at Zhangjiakou in China’s Hebei province, which started up in January.
