Shell suggests hydrogen produced at Holland Hydrogen 1 could be used for transport fuel
Shell takes FID on 200MW electrolyser
Holland Hydrogen 1 project will be Europe’s largest green hydrogen plant once operational in 2025
Shell has taken FID on its Holland Hydrogen 1 project, which will be Europe’s largest green hydrogen plant once operational in 2025.The 200MW electrolyser will be constructed on the Port of Rotterdam’s Maasvlakte extension and will produce up to 60t/d of renewable hydrogen.Power for the electrolyser will come from the Hollandse Kust Noord offshore windfarm. The Crosswind consortium—a joint venture between Shell and Dutch utility Eneco—plans to have the windfarm operational in 2023 with an installed capacity of 759MW. “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,” says Anna Masc
