Port of Rotterdam Authority offers site for green hydrogen plant
In the Netherlands, the Port of Rotterdam Authority said it is offering site for a green hydrogen plant with a capacity of up to 1 GW. The Port of Rotterdam Authority is developing an 11 hectare site on the Maasvlakte suitable for the construction of a very large green hydrogen plant. The reason is the tender for the IJmuiden Ver wind farm expected for later this year. Allard Castelein, Port of Rotterdam Authority CEO, said: ‘The construction of a hydrogen plant with a capacity of 1 GW is the next leap in scale in the production of green hydrogen. Several companies are now building, or have advanced plans to build, electrolyzers with a capacity of 200 to 250 MW at the Maasvlakte. These would currently be the largest in Europe, but we already want to accommodate the next generation of hydrogen plants. These are expected to be five times larger.’ The ambition of the Port Authority is to achieve 2 to 2.5 GW of electrolysis by 2030.
