Shell to build largest renewable hydrogen plant in Europe

Shell Nederland and Shell Overseas Investments, subsidiaries of Shell, will build Holland Hydrogen I, which is expected to be the largest renewable hydrogen plant in Europe, once operational in 2025.

The 200 MW electrolyser will be built on the Tweede Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam and will produce up to 60,000 kg of renewable hydrogen per day.

Renewable energy for the electrolyser will come from the Hollandse Kust (noord) offshore wind farm, which is partly owned by Shell.

The produced renewable hydrogen will feed Rotterdam’s Shell Energy and Chemicals Park via the HyTransPort1 pipeline.

This will replace some of the refinery’s use of grey hydrogen, which will partially decarbonise the facility’s production of energy products such as petrol, diesel, and jet fuel.

“Holland Hydrogen I demonstrates how new energy solutions can work together to meet society’s need for cleaner energy. It is also another example of Shell’s own efforts and commitment to become a net-zero emissions business by 2050,” said Anna Mascolo, executive vice president, emerging energy solutions at Shell.

At the same time, renewable hydrogen supply can also be directed towards heavy-duty trucks to help decarbonise commercial road transport.

“Renewable hydrogen will play a pivotal role in the energy system of the future and this project is an important step in helping hydrogen fulfil that potential,” she added.

The company aims to help build a global hydrogen economy by developing opportunities in the production, storage, transport, and delivery of hydrogen to end customers.
