RWE to Build Green Hydrogen Electrolyser Near Magnum Power Station in the Netherlands
Key Ideas
- RWE has obtained permits to construct a 100MW green hydrogen electrolyser near the Magnum Power Station in Eemshaven, Netherlands.
- The project is part of the onshore energy system integration plans related to the OranjeWind offshore wind project in the Dutch North Sea, a collaboration between RWE and TotalEnergies.
- TotalEnergies will utilize the electricity from the OranjeWind wind project to power 350MW electrolyser projects, supporting the decarbonisation of its refineries in Northern Europe.
- RWE's initiatives in Eemshaven, including the Magnum Power Station and Eems Power Station electrolyser projects, aim to bolster the region's renewable energy growth and promote sustainable production processes for industries.
RWE has received the necessary construction and environmental permits to establish a 100MW green hydrogen electrolyser near the Magnum Power Station in Eemshaven, the Netherlands. This project is a significant step towards integrating renewable energy into the onshore system, particularly in connection with the 795MW OranjeWind offshore wind venture in the Dutch North Sea, jointly undertaken by RWE and TotalEnergies. The green hydrogen produced will play a vital role in enhancing the sustainability of production processes for industries. Sopna Sury, COO Hydrogen at RWE Generation SE, highlighted the importance of these permits in advancing the electrolyser project and underlined RWE's commitment to promoting renewable energy growth in the region. Additionally, TotalEnergies plans to harness the electricity generated by OranjeWind to power its electrolyser projects, facilitating the decarbonisation of its refineries in Northern Europe. RWE is not only focusing on the Magnum Power Station electrolyser but also working on a 50MW electrolyser project at the neighboring Eems Power Station, further solidifying the area as a hub for green energy and sustainable practices.
