RWE Gets Approval for $155 Million Investment for Eemshydrogen Project

The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) has approved an investment of USD 155 million for the Eemshydrogen project, which involves the construction of a 50 MW electrolysis plant in Eemshaven, the Netherlands. Eemshydrogen is a green hydrogen project planned to be developed north of the Netherlands. The company expects to start production by 2027.

The Westereems onshore wind farm will provide green electricity for the electrolysis plant. The plan is to build an electrolyser for the production of green hydrogen on the Eemshaven Centrale site. Green hydrogen is made using sustainable wind or solar energy. RWE will store or transport the green hydrogen produced to end users, such as the chemical industry.

Dr. Sopna Sury, COO of RWE Generation, underlines how the region will benefit from this electrolysis plant: "By supplying clean hydrogen, for example, to the transport sector and chemical plants, our Eemshaven site will help reduce the carbon emissions of industrial companies in North-Western Europe."

Eemshydrogen can supply clean hydrogen to the transport sector. Or to the chemical plants on the industrial site in Delfzijl, which need a lot of hydrogen. The green hydrogen will partly replace the grey hydrogen, thereby helping to reduce industrial carbon emissions.

Green hydrogen is a fundamental part of RWE's investment strategy, with plans to invest USD 69 billion between 2024 and 2030 to expand its global renewable energy portfolio to 65 GW.

RWE’s Green Hydrogen Projects in Europe

RWE is actively involved in the development of innovative hydrogen projects and is a partner in many green hydrogen projects in Europe. Here are some of the key projects:

GetH2 in Lingen, Germany:  RWE has given the green light for the development of a nationwide green hydrogen infrastructure by constructing a 100 MW electrolysis plant.

Pembroke, United Kingdom: RWE is developing a 110 MWe green hydrogen plant in the UK. 

NorthH2, Netherlands: The major project NorthH2 on the North Sea coast of the Netherlands aims to use one gigawatt of installed offshore wind energy for green hydrogen production by 2027.
