HyCC Unveils H2Next: A Game-Changer for Decarbonization in Rotterdam
Key Ideas
  • HyCC announces the development of H2Next, a large-scale electrolyzer in Rotterdam, to produce 25,000 tons of green hydrogen annually.
  • The project aims to decarbonize refineries, the chemical industry, and mobility in the Rotterdam port area, with plans to supply green hydrogen to industrial clusters across Northwest Europe.
  • HyCC signed an agreement with the Port of Rotterdam Authority to reserve a plot at the first hydrogen conversion park on the Maasvlakte, near offshore wind farms, with a final investment decision expected by 2028 and hydrogen production by 2030.
HyCC has revealed its plans for H2Next, a significant step towards decarbonizing industries in Rotterdam. The project, announced during the World Hydrogen Summit, involves the construction of a large electrolyzer that will generate 25,000 tons of green hydrogen annually. By partnering with the Port of Rotterdam Authority, HyCC secures a prime location at the first hydrogen conversion park on the Maasvlakte, strategically positioned near upcoming offshore wind farms. H2Next is set to play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions by supporting the decarbonization of refineries, the chemical industry, and mobility within the Rotterdam port area. Additionally, the project aligns with the national hydrogen network and the Delta Rhine Corridor, enabling the distribution of green hydrogen to industrial clusters across Northwest Europe, further promoting sustainability in the region. With the study phase nearing completion, HyCC aims to finalize its investment decision by 2028, paving the way for the commencement of hydrogen production around 2030. The unveiling of H2Next marks a positive leap towards a greener and more sustainable future for Rotterdam and the surrounding industrial landscape.
