Thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers has signed a supply contract with Shell for the major 'Hydrogen Holland I' project in the port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Under the terms of the contract, thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers will manufacture a 200 MW electrolysis plant based on its 20 MW large-scale alkaline water electrolysis module. The first construction work for the electrolysers is expected to start in spring 2022. Shell's final investment decision for the construction of 'Hydrogen Holland I' is expected in 2022, with commissioning scheduled for 2024. "We look forward to supporting the establishment of a large hydrogen hub in Central Europe and thereby contributing to Europe's transition to green energy," says Dr. Christoph Noeres, Head of Green Hydrogen at thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers. “With our large-scale standard modules, we will further strengthen Shell's hydrogen strategy. Our partnership ideally combines our engineering excellence with the expertise of Shell as a large global energy company.” Thyssenkrupp brings engineering excellence to the new energy market The center of the hydrogen project facility 'Hydrogen Holland I' will be a hall that extends over 2 hectares and is therefore the size of three football fields. Green hydrogen is produced for industry and the transport sector, with the electricity coming from the Hollandse Kust (Noord) offshore wind farm, with guarantees of origin. The hydrogen can be transported via an approximately 40-kilometer pipeline that leads from the facility to the Rotterdam Energy and Chemical Park to Shell. Climate neutrality is one of the top priorities for the facility: Wherever possible, reusable building materials are used and the outer walls of the plant are equipped with solar cells. Once fully operational, the facility will be open to selected visitors. Green hydrogen is an important pillar of the energy transition towards sustainable decarbonization. By 2025, countries that represent more than 80 percent of global GDP are expected to enter the hydrogen economy with their own hydrogen strategy. As the global technology leader for green hydrogen, Thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers enables its customers to transition to a carbon-free industry.
