In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) has granted RWE a funding of $641 for its 100-megawatt electrolysis project near the Magnum Power Station in Eemshaven in the north of the country.
This has been awarded as part of the Sustainable Energy Production and Climate Transition Incentive Scheme (SDE++) run by the Dutch government.
Sopna Sury, Chief Operating Officer for Hydrogen at RWE Generation, said: “It is fantastic to have secured government funding so soon after also obtaining the necessary permits. Both milestones are critical steps towards realising of the OranjeWind Electrolyzer project. Once operational, it will help advance the decarbonization of industry in the Netherlands.”
RWE plans to power the electrolyzer with green electricity generated by the OranjeWind offshore wind farm, which the company is currently building together with its joint venture partner TotalEnergies. Last October, the OranjeWind Electrolyzer project received approval for construction and environmental permits, according to the report.
