- A joint venture will build a 250 MW electrolyzer near the Zeeland refinery, operational by 2029, costing €600 million.
- The electrolyzer will produce 30,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, reducing CO2 emissions by 300,000 tons.
- A 200 MW ELYgator electrolyzer in Maasvlakte will supply 15,000 tons of green hydrogen to Antwerp by 2027, cutting CO2 by 150,000 tons.
Green Hydrogen Initiatives
TotalEnergies and Air Liquide have signed agreements to develop two green hydrogen projects in the Netherlands. These projects aim to produce 45,000 tons of green hydrogen annually using renewable energy, primarily from the OranjeWind offshore wind farm. The initiative is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 450,000 tons per year at TotalEnergies’ refineries in Belgium and the Netherlands, contributing to European renewable energy targets in transport.
Zeeland Electrolyzer Project
The companies will establish a joint venture to build and operate a 250 MW electrolyzer near the Zeeland refinery. Scheduled for commissioning in 2029, this project will produce up to 30,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, significantly reducing CO2 emissions by 300,000 tons per year. The project represents a €600 million investment, with funding sought from European and national subsidy programs.
Maasvlakte Electrolyzer Project
As part of Air Liquide's 200 MW ELYgator electrolyzer project in Maasvlakte, TotalEnergies has signed a tolling agreement for 130 MW to produce 15,000 tons of green hydrogen annually for its Antwerp platform. This project, expected to be operational by the end of 2027, will reduce CO2 emissions at the Antwerp site by 150,000 tons per year. TotalEnergies will supply renewable electrons from the OranjeWind project to Air Liquide for conversion into green hydrogen.
Decarbonization Goals
TotalEnergies is committed to reducing its carbon footprint by using low-carbon hydrogen to decarbonize its European refineries. The company aims to cut its annual CO2 emissions by three million tons by 2030, having already contracted over 170,000 tons of green hydrogen annually for its refineries in France, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
