HyCC Announces H2Next: a Green Hydrogen Facility in Rotterdam
Key Ideas
- HyCC to build H2Next, a green hydrogen facility in Rotterdam to produce 25,000 tons of green hydrogen annually.
- The facility aims to reduce carbon emissions from nearby industries and transportation in the Rotterdam port area.
- H2Next will also supply clean hydrogen to industrial zones in Northwest Europe, integrating with the national hydrogen backbone.
- Feasibility study nearing conclusion, with plans to start hydrogen production by 2030 and finalize investment decision by 2028.
HyCC has announced the construction of H2Next, a significant green hydrogen facility in Rotterdam, at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam. The facility will be located at the first hydrogen conversion park on the Maasvlakte, in partnership with the Port of Rotterdam Authority. This strategic location provides reliable access to renewable energy near anticipated offshore wind farm sites. H2Next is expected to produce around 25,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, with the primary goal of reducing carbon emissions from nearby refineries, the chemical industry, and transportation activities in the Rotterdam port area. Furthermore, the facility will supply clean hydrogen to industrial zones across Northwest Europe by connecting with the national hydrogen backbone through the Delta Rhine Corridor. The feasibility study for the project is nearing completion, and HyCC plans to commence hydrogen production by 2030, with a final investment decision set for 2028. Overall, the initiative represents a positive step towards sustainable energy production and emission reduction in the region.
