RWE has secured the necessary construction and environmental permits to build an electrolyser near the Magnum Power Station in Eemshaven.
Energy company RWE has secured the necessary construction and environmental permits to build an electrolyser near the Magnum Power Station in Eemshaven, the Netherlands.
The 100MW green hydrogen project will contribute to the onshore energy system integration plans associated with the 795MW OranjeWind offshore wind project in the Dutch North Sea, which RWE is realising together with its joint venture partner TotalEnergies.
Sopna Sury, COO Hydrogen at RWE Generation SE: “Securing the necessary permits brings us a step closer to realising this electrolyser in Eemshaven. This would enable RWE to provide industry with green hydrogen to make their production processes more sustainable. With our plans of this electrolyser at the Eemshaven, RWE continues to contribute to the further growth in the area and helps to establish this cluster as a centre for renewable energy.”

TotalEnergies plans to use its share of the electricity produced from the 100MW OranjeWind wind project to power 350MW electrolyser projects. The green hydrogen produced will be used for the decarbonisation of TotalEnergies’ refineries in Northern Europe.
Besides the Magnum Power Station electrolyser project, RWE is also working to realise a 50MW electrolyser at the nearby Eems Power Station.
