Evonik, VoltH2 to advance hydrogen production in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that German specialty chemicals company Evonik has signed a term sheet with Dutch energy company VoltH2 to advance green hydrogen production at the Delfzijl chemical park in the Netherlands.

Under the terms of the agreement, VoltH2 will construct a 50 MW electrolyzer near Evonik’s hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plant. Evonik will then source a portion of its hydrogen demand from the electrolyzer, which is estimated to start operations at the end of 2027, the report stated.

For the interim, Evonik’s remaining hydrogen needs will continue to be provided by its own conventional on-site hydrogen production. This solution is expected to ensure uninterrupted supply until green hydrogen capacity grows to fully cover demand at all times, it added.

VoltH2 will also construct a tube trailer filling station on Evonik’s premises, and the hydrogen in these trailers will be made available to VoltH2’s other customers.
