Equinor, a Norwegian energy major, in partnership with Linde, is progressing on the H2M Eemshaven project in the Netherlands to produce low-carbon hydrogen using natural gas reforming with carbon capture and storage. The initiative, with a planned capacity of 1 GW, targets decarbonizing hydrogen production to aid in CO2 emissions reduction for the Netherlands and Germany while maintaining energy supply security. The project's FEED phase commenced in April, aiming for production to start by 2030. Equinor's Hydrogen Open Season, launched recently, seeks potential buyers for low-carbon hydrogen, inviting parties to express interest in long-term supply agreements. Interested parties will be evaluated based on connectivity to the hydrogen grid and financial criteria, with preference given to those committing to a minimum annual offtake of 50 MW. Successful registrants will proceed to the next phase, involving detailed product information sharing and contract negotiations under confidentiality agreements.
