H2SITE selected for EU support for Rotterdam ammonia-cracking project
- The proposed Rotterdam facility is planned to produce 20 tonnes of hydrogen per day.
- The project would recover and purify hydrogen from imported ammonia near industrial consumers.
- H2SITE’s palladium-alloy membrane technology underpins the project.
- A final investment decision depends on engineering, permitting, commercial agreements and financing.
EU support for Rotterdam project
H2SITE has been selected for support from the European Union’s Innovation Fund for an industrial-scale ammonia-cracking project in Rotterdam. The selection is subject to formalisation of the grant agreement. The proposed facility is planned to produce 20 tonnes of hydrogen per day.
Project development
The project aims to recover and purify hydrogen from imported ammonia close to industrial consumption centres. H2SITE is working with industrial stakeholders in Rotterdam on integration across the value chain, from ammonia reception and storage to hydrogen production and distribution.
The project remains in development. A final investment decision will depend on engineering and permitting work, commercial agreements and financing. It builds on H2SITE’s palladium-alloy membrane technology. The company says it has a manufacturing plant in Europe and is developing larger-scale ammonia-cracking and hydrogen-purification projects.
