Zeevonk Offshore Wind-to-Hydrogen Project Takes Major Step Forward in Rotterdam
Key Ideas
- Zeevonk in Rotterdam advances its hydrogen project with Wood conducting FEED work for the planned facility powered by offshore wind and solar.
- The project, including a 2 GW offshore wind farm and a 50 MW floating offshore solar farm, aims to support the new Dutch hydrogen infrastructure.
- The hydrogen plant will be a significant player in the Hydrogen Network Rotterdam, with energy capacity also being delivered to Google in a sustainable contract.
- The subsidy-free project is set to be operational by 2029, representing a significant step towards green hydrogen production and utilization in the Netherlands.
Zeevonk, a joint venture between Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, is making strides in advancing its large-scale project in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The project, involving offshore wind, floating solar, and green hydrogen, is entering the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase led by UK-based company Wood. The planned hydrogen facility will be powered by offshore wind and floating solar farms, with the produced hydrogen to be connected to the Hydrogen Network Rotterdam. This initiative marks a crucial development in the new Dutch hydrogen infrastructure, especially centered in the Port of Rotterdam. The project, revealed in June 2024, includes a 2 GW offshore wind farm, a 50 MW floating offshore solar farm, and a 1 GW electrolyzer plant. Notably, 250 MW of energy capacity from the offshore wind farm will be provided to Google in a sustainable contract. This subsidy-free project is set to be operational by 2029, signaling a significant move towards sustainable and green hydrogen production in the region. Claus Vissing-Jørgensen, Project Director at Zeevonk, expressed enthusiasm in collaboration with Wood and highlighted the milestone achieved with the FEED work, paving the way for the upcoming EPC tender process.
