VoltH2, North Sea Port to develop green H2 plant in the Netherlands

VoltH2 B.V. has signed a cooperation agreement in preparation of a long-term concession contract with North Sea Port for an industrial plot covering 27,950 m2 in Vlissingen. The company has started planning and developing the construction of a green hydrogen plant with storage, refueling and distribution facilities. The agreement also provides for the possible construction of a pipeline to a tanker transfer point.

Expandable to four times initial production

VoltH2 envisages the construction of a 25 MW electrolysis unit using commercially available technology. The plant will produce up to 3.6 MM kg (3,600 t) of green hydrogen annually. By integrating hydrogen storage, local filling stations can also be supplied, thus contributing to increased sustainability for North Sea Port. The design of the green hydrogen plant will allow for an expansion of up to 100 MW with a potential production of 14.4 MM kg (14,400 t) of green hydrogen per year. The site is accessible by road, rail and waterway for the supply and distribution of green hydrogen in the wider area or to the gas network. The investment for the first phase is budgeted at €35 MM, subsequently rising to more than €100 MM.

The investment for the first phase is budgeted at €35 MM, subsequently rising to more than €100 MM. The site is strategically located in Vlissingen, next to the existing Sloe gas-fired power station and close to other important industrial companies that will start using green hydrogen in the future in addition to grey and blue hydrogen. VoltH2 is also examining the feasibility of a truck transport point exclusively for the use of hydrogen.
