“Yes, this is the beginning of the hydrogen economy. Now the first sheep is over the dam”, says professor of future energy systems Ad van Wijk of TU Delft about Shell’s announcement to build the largest green hydrogen factory in Europe on the Maasvlakte. The oil and gas group has made a final investment decision for the construction of the Holland Hydrogen I factory. The renewable power for the so-called electrolyser, the device in which water is split into hydrogen and oxygen, comes from Hollandse Kust (noord), the wind farm. sea that is partly owned by Shell. The plant is expected to be operational in 2025.
