- The project aims to produce up to 3.6 tonnes of hydrogen per hour by 2029.
- Initial capacity is 200MWe, with potential expansion to 600MWe.
- Hydrogen will be supplied to INEOS Grangemouth to reduce emissions.
- RWE has completed concept, feasibility, and pre-FEED studies.
Project Overview
RWE plans to develop a green hydrogen project in Grangemouth, Scotland, to support Scotland's decarbonisation goals. The project will produce up to 3.6 tonnes of hydrogen per hour by 2029, with an initial capacity of 200MWe and potential expansion to 600MWe.
Partnership with INEOS
The hydrogen produced will be supplied to INEOS Grangemouth, helping them significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This collaboration aims to place Grangemouth at the center of Scotland's hydrogen economy and support INEOS's commitment to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2045.
Project Development
The project will be constructed within the Grangemouth industrial complex, adjacent to the INEOS facility. RWE has completed concept, feasibility, and pre-Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) studies, secured a grid connection, and is shortlisting electrolyser suppliers. The next steps include progressing towards a planning application and local consultation.
Strategic Importance
Scotland holds strategic importance for RWE, with approximately 480MW of installed renewable capacity across 26 sites. RWE is committed to advancing hydrogen development initiatives and driving the transition to renewable energy in Scotland.
