Facility at Eemshaven will reform Norwegian gas and supply industrial consumers via Dutch and German pipeline networks
Norwegian state-owned energy company Equinor and global industrial gases firm Linde have agreed to cooperate on the development of a large-scale blue hydrogen project at the port of Eemshaven in northern Holland. The project, called H2M Eemshaven, aims to start production in 2028 with a planned capacity of 210,000t/yr.
