RWE gets grant for hydrogen project in Eemshydrogen
In The Netherlands, RWE said that The Netherlands Agency Enterprise (RVO) has granted RWE a funding commitment of $133 million for its Eemshydrogen project. Eemshydrogen is a project to build a 50-megawatt electrolysis plant at RWE’s site in Eemshaven to produce green hydrogen. RWE plans to operate the electrolyser with green electricity from its Westereems wind farm, which is located only around 5 kilometers from the Eemshaven power plant site. Sopna Sury, COO Hydrogen RWE Generation, said: The funding is one crucial component to make the overall project economically viable and advance the ramp-up of the hydrogen market in the province of Groningen and beyond. By supplying clean hydrogen, for example to the transport sector and chemical plants, our Eemshaven site will help reduce carbon emissions of industrial companies in North-Western Europe.” RWE plans to take a financial investment decision (FID) for Eemshydrogen at the end of 2024.
