Messer, along with partners Virya Energy and Hyoffgreen, has made the Final Investment Decision for a 25MW green hydrogen production plant in Zeebrugge, Belgium. The Hyoffwind project, expected to commence hydrogen production in 2026, aims to be a significant player in the green energy sector. The plant, which can potentially expand to 100MW, is strategically located in Zeebrugge, selected for its connectivity to energy networks. This choice positions the plant as a crucial element in the future hydrogen network, facilitating connections between production sites and industrial areas in northwest Europe. Virginia Esly, Messer's CEO Europe, emphasizes the environmental and sustainable aspects of investing in green hydrogen, noting how this move will benefit industrial customers transitioning to green hydrogen for their operations. The Flemish Minister of Economy, Jo Brouns, recognizes the project's importance in developing expertise for constructing hydrogen plants abroad, underlining the significance of the initiative for Flanders. Additionally, Messer's recent announcement of plans for a 10MW green hydrogen plant in Germany further demonstrates the company's commitment to expanding green hydrogen production.
