Evonik Partners with VoltH2 for Green Hydrogen Project in the Netherlands
Key Ideas
- Evonik and VoltH2 sign term sheet to build a 50MW electrolyser at the Delfzijl chemical park in the Netherlands by 2027.
- Evonik aims to shift hydrogen peroxide production entirely to renewable sources, committing to emission reductions and Net Zero by 2050.
- VoltH2's founder highlights the optimization of sustainable electricity usage and green hydrogen production in achieving significant carbon emission reductions.
- The project marks the first green hydrogen water electrolysis plant at an industrial scale in the North of the Netherlands, demonstrating a move towards sustainability.
German chemicals firm Evonik has partnered with hydrogen specialist VoltH2 to construct a 50MW electrolyser at the Delfzijl chemical park in the Netherlands. This project, expected to be operational by 2027, will supply hydrogen to Evonik's hydrogen peroxide plant. Until then, the plant will continue to use fossil-based hydrogen. Evonik aims to transition its hydrogen peroxide production entirely to renewable sources, committing to emission reductions and achieving Net Zero by 2050. The project signifies a move towards sustainability, with a focus on reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. VoltH2's founder emphasized the importance of optimizing sustainable electricity usage and green hydrogen production in achieving significant carbon emission reductions. This initiative, as the first green hydrogen water electrolysis plant at an industrial scale in the North of the Netherlands, showcases the potential for large-scale carbon emission reductions in the future. Overall, the partnership between Evonik and VoltH2 reflects a positive step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly industrial operation in the region.
