- Delfzijl will use offshore wind power for green hydrogen production.
- The Netherlands plans a hydrogen backbone and storage in a salt cavern.
- Lhyfe targets 3 GW installed capacity by 2030.
- Project execution depends on licenses, permissions, and financial decisions.
Project Overview
Delfzijl, Netherlands, is set to host a 200 MW green hydrogen plant, leveraging its access to offshore wind power. This location is already a significant consumer of hydrogen, which is expected to grow.
Energy Transition Goals
Groningen aims to become the leading hydrogen valley in North-Western Europe, building a complete value chain from production to transportation of green hydrogen. The Netherlands plans to establish a hydrogen backbone and convert an old salt cavern for hydrogen storage.
Regional Impact
The green hydrogen produced will support decarbonization efforts and ease the congested electricity grid by transporting offshore-generated energy throughout the country. Potential off-takers include Germany and other neighboring countries.
Future Ambitions
Lhyfe aims to become a leading European green hydrogen producer with a target of 3 GW installed capacity by 2030. The company is developing decentralized hydrogen ecosystems across Europe, including the Delfzijl project.
Project Requirements
The execution of the Delfzijl project is contingent on obtaining the necessary operation licenses, building permissions, and financial investment decisions.
