Air Liquide has announced two electrolyser projects with a total electrolysis capacity of 450 MW in the Netherlands to produce renewable and low-carbon hydrogen in partnership with TotalEnergies.
Specifically, Air Liquide projects to build, own and operate a 200 MW electrolyser in Maasvlakte, Rotterdam. With an estimated production of up to 23,000 t/year of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen, the project will notably supply TotalEnergies’ industrial platform through a long term contract. The company will also be able to serve additional Dutch and Belgian customers with industrial and heavy-duty mobility needs. Air Liquide will leverage renewable power production from TotalEnergies’ share of OranjeWind project as well as Power Purchase Agreements with Vattenfall from the Hollandse Kust Zuid (HKZ) offshore wind project off the Dutch coast.
In addition, Air Liquide and TotalEnergies will create a 50:50 joint venture to develop a 250 MW electrolyser in the Zeeland province, Netherlands. Powered by renewable power from TotalEnergies’ share of Oranjewind, this project aims to produce up to 30,000 t/year of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen. Commissioning is expected in 2029 pending final authorizations and investment decision.
