In the UK, ITM Power announced the signing of a contract for the REFHYNE II project following Shell’s recent positive Final Investment Decision (FID). Under the initiative, ITM will supply 100MW of TRIDENT stacks and skids to the Shell Rheinland Energy and Chemicals Park in Germany. Linde Engineering has been chosen as the EPC integrator and will collaborate closely with ITM. REFHYNE II will use renewable electricity to produce up to 44,000 kilograms of renewable hydrogen daily, partially decarbonizing fuel production at Shell’s Wesseling refinery. The electrolyser is scheduled to begin operating in 2027, ITM Power said. Dennis Schulz, CEO of ITM, said: “Shell is a leading global energy company, and we are proud they have selected us for this prestigious project. The performance of our latest generation electrolzser stacks in the REFHYNE I plant played an important role in Shell’s proceeding to FID, as did their extensive due diligence on our technology and our capability to deliver this large-scale commercial project.”
