Worley received Engineering services contract for 200 MW Hydrogen project in Netherlands

Worley has been awarded an early engineering services contract by Shell to support the development of a new 200 megawatt electrolysis-based hydrogen plant in the Netherlands. Once complete, the project will be one of the largest commercial green hydrogen production facilities in the world. 

Shell’s Holland Hydrogen I project will be located on the Tweede Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. A final investment decision will be made later this year.

Peter van Alphen, Senior Vice President, the Netherlands and Germany, Worley, said: “This project supports our commitment to lead the development of hydrogen projects while allowing us to support Shell’s strategic interests toward developing new fuels further. It is an important win for the Netherlands, Shell, Worley and indeed the world.” 

Operations are scheduled to start by 2023 and will produce ~50,000–60,000 kg of hydrogen per day. Renewable energy will preferably be provided by the Hollandse Kust (Noord) offshore wind farm. The green hydrogen produced will initially be used at the Shell refinery in Pernis to partially decarbonize the production of fossil fuels and support the industrial use of hydrogen in the heavy transportation industry.
