In Germany, RWE said it has taken an important step in developing 100MW of green hydrogen production at Eemshaven, the Netherlands. The firm said it has secured the necessary construction and environmental permits to build an electrolyzer near the Magnum Power Station in Eemshaven in the north of the country. If built, the electrolyzer will contribute to the onshore energy system integration plans associated with the 795MW OranjeWind offshore wind project in the Dutch North Sea, which RWE is realizing together with its joint venture partner TotalEnergies. Sopna Sury, COO Hydrogen at RWE Generation SE: “Securing the necessary permits brings us a step closer to realizing this electrolyzer in Eemshaven. This would enable RWE to provide industry with green hydrogen to make their production processes more sustainable. With our plans of this electrolyzer at the Eemshaven, RWE continues to contribute to the further growth in the area and helps to establish this cluster as a center for renewable energy.” The realization of the 50MW Eemshydrogen project and the 100MW OranjeWind electrolyzer are subject to final investment decisions (FID). A key condition for these is the timely availability of the necessary infrastructure, such as the national hydrogen backbone, to transport the green hydrogen to customers, the firm said.
