Thyssenkrupp's hydrogen unit to build 200 MW electrolyser for Shell

Thyssenkrupp's hydrogen unit Uhde Chlorine Engineers will develop  a 200 MW electrolysis plant  for Shell’s large-scale project ‘Hydrogen Holland I’.

The plant is based on their large-scale 20 MW alkaline water electrolysis module, the company said Monday. The construction work will begin in Spring 2022 in  the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. 

“We are looking forward to support building a major hydrogen hub in central Europe and to contribute to Europe’s transition to green energy”, says Dr. Christoph Noeres, Head of Green Hydrogen at thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers. “With our large-scale standard module size, we will further strengthen Shell’s hydrogen strategy. Our partnership perfectly combines our engineering excellence with Shell’s competence of a large global energy player.”

Shell will make a decision about the investment in ‘Holland Hydrogen I’ this year, after which the intended start of production will be in 2024, said thyssenkrupp.
