Netherlands Takes Lead in Green Energy Innovation with Offshore Wind and Hydrogen Project
Key Ideas
  • Zeevonk, a joint venture of Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, aims to build a 2 GW offshore wind farm with a floating solar farm and electrolyzer for green hydrogen production in the Netherlands.
  • The project aligns with the Netherlands' ambitious offshore wind and hydrogen targets, contributing to the country's journey towards a carbon-neutral future.
  • Combining wind, solar, and hydrogen in this integrated energy system will support the decarbonization of industries and society, demonstrating the potential of renewable energy sources.
  • The collaboration between Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners highlights the expertise and commitment of both companies in developing sustainable energy projects globally.
Zeevonk, a joint venture of Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has been granted a permit to develop the IJmuiden Ver Beta offshore wind farm in the Netherlands. This 2 GW project will feature a 50 MWp floating offshore solar farm and a new electrolyzer at the Port of Rotterdam to produce green hydrogen. The partnership combines the expertise of Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, known for their track record in renewable energy projects. The project aims to create a cutting-edge energy system, leveraging wind, solar, and hydrogen to drive the decarbonization of industries and society. The electrolyzer at the Port of Rotterdam will play a key role in converting electricity from IJmuiden Ver into green hydrogen, aiding in the transition away from fossil fuels. The addition of a 50 MWp floating offshore solar farm represents a significant advancement in offshore solar technology, enhancing space efficiency and grid connection utilization. This project signifies the Netherlands' commitment to green energy innovation, aligning with the country's targets for offshore wind and hydrogen. The partnership between Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners reflects a shared vision for a sustainable future and contributes to the development of an integrated energy system in the North Sea.
