In France, Air Liquide announced the final investment decision to launch the construction of ELYgator, a 200 MW electrolyzer project in Maasvlakte, in the Port of Rotterdam.
This decision follows crucial support from the Dutch government through the OWE subsidy scheme, complementing prior support from the European Innovation Fund and the Dutch IPCEI program, the firm said.
As announced in February 2025, Air Liquide will invest more than $588 million to build, own and operate the electrolyzer, supplying notably TotalEnergies’ industrial platform through a long term contract. The ELYgator project will produce 23,000 tons of renewable hydrogen annually, serving industrial and heavy-duty mobility customers, reducing up to 300,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year of operation, the company added.
