In the UK, Shell Energy Europe Limited, a subsidiary of Shell, has signed two separate power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Germany with Nordsee One GmbH and Solarkraftwerk Halenbeck-Rohlsdorf I/II Gmbh.
The agreements will secure a significant proportion of the renewable electricity needed to power the REFHYNE 2 hydrogen electrolyser under construction at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland in Germany.
The 100 MW electrolyser will produce renewable hydrogen, helping to decarbonize energy products, from transport fuels to chemicals, which are produced at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland and used across Europe. Using renewable power for hydrogen generation will help to further reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions at the facility, the company said.
“Through these renewable power agreements, we are bringing together our advanced trading capabilities and our Low Carbon Solutions expertise to decarbonize Shell’s operations and customer products with pioneering renewable hydrogen technology,” said Andy Beard, President of Hydrogen, Shell.
