Shell has taken FID on its Holland Hydrogen 1 project, which will be Europe’s largest green hydrogen plant once operational in 2025.The 200MW electrolyser will be constructed on the Port of Rotterdam’s Maasvlakte extension and will produce up to 60t/d of renewable hydrogen.Power for the electrolyser will come from the Hollandse Kust Noord offshore windfarm.
