Lhyfe Delivers Renewable Hydrogen to Essent in Netherlands

Key highlights

Renewable Hydrogen Delivery

Lhyfe has started delivering renewable hydrogen to Essent, the largest energy supplier in the Netherlands. This hydrogen is used for the GROHW project in Deventer, a pioneering renewable hydrogen initiative in the country.

GROHW Project Collaboration

The GROHW project is a collaboration between Nefit Bosch, Essent, Firan, and Witteveen+Bos. It aims to develop a green energy ecosystem and expertise center around renewable hydrogen, focusing on reducing CO₂ emissions.

Hydrogen Testing and Applications

Lhyfe's hydrogen will be used in Nefit Bosch's testing center in Deventer to test hydrogen boilers. Bosch is exploring hydrogen as an alternative to natural gas in the built environment and plans to commercialize a "H2 Ready" combi boiler by 2029.

Future Projects and Expansion

Lhyfe announced a 200MW project in the Chemical Park Delfzijl, aiming to be operational by 2030 with an initial phase of 120MW. This site will connect to the European backbone, supporting applications in the chemical sector.

Current Operations

Lhyfe operates four production sites in France and Germany and is developing additional sites across Europe. The company has made over 470 deliveries with a 99% service rate, utilizing a fleet of approximately 70 containers.
