Wood Group PLC Awarded Contract for Zeevonk Hydrogen Facility in Rotterdam
Key Ideas
- John Wood Group PLC secured a FEED contract for the Zeevonk hydrogen facility in Rotterdam, Netherlands, powered by offshore wind and solar.
- The project, a joint venture by Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, aims to support net-zero targets in Europe.
- The hydrogen produced will be connected to the Hydrogen Network Rotterdam, enhancing the Dutch hydrogen infrastructure hub.
- Wood's expertise in large-scale green hydrogen projects will play a vital role in advancing the energy transition and providing a cost-effective solution.
John Wood Group PLC has been awarded a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for the Zeevonk hydrogen facility in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The facility, powered by offshore wind and floating offshore solar from the Zeevonk offshore developments, is part of a joint venture between Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP). This project aims to contribute to Vattenfall's net-zero targets and Europe's broader 2050 net-zero emissions goal. Wood's expertise in large-scale green hydrogen projects will be pivotal in the successful implementation of the facility. The hydrogen produced will be piped to the Hydrogen Network Rotterdam, located in the Port of Rotterdam, a significant European energy hub. Wood emphasized the importance of maximizing value engineering and ensuring a reliable and cost-effective solution. This project marks Wood's third collaboration with COP, following their involvement in other transformative projects. Overall, the awarding of the FEED contract signifies a significant milestone in the development of a large-scale hydrogen plant in the Maasvlakte area, with detailed cost estimates set to pave the way for the upcoming EPC tender process.
