Announced

H2Maasvlakte is Uniper's clean tech project at Maasvlakte, Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Why it matters

Nothing has been committed to it yet.

  • H2Maasvlakte was announced on 7 March 2023. as of 2023-03-07
  • It is at Maasvlakte, Rotterdam, Netherlands. as of 2023-03-07
  • It uses renewable hydrogen supply. as of 2023-03-07
  • No committed public money is on file for it. as of 2023-03-07

Where H2Maasvlakte is

H2Maasvlakte is at Uniper Maasvlakte Energy Hub. Its position is Centrale Maasvlakte, the works it stands on, rather than the installation itself. Also in frame: 4 sites using the same technology.

  • 2023-03-07AnnouncedUniper selected Plug Power to design the 100 MW electrolyser package and said in the same release what that was not: 'Plug will deliver 10 prefabricated PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyzer arrays for Uniper's flagship project, H2Maasvlakte upon Uniper's positive FID.' Three and a half years on, no company source read here states one.source

Technology and measures

  • Renewable hydrogen supplydemonstrationThe electrolysers, power contracts and pipelines that have to deliver hydrogen at industrial volume and at a price the iron pays for, and which no single steel site can build for itself. It stands beside CO2 transport and storage as the other thing that sector is waiting for rather than doing. IT IS NOW SHARED. Steel reached it as a dependency; the hydrogen dataset reaches it as the thing being built, so the technology carries both sectors rather than being duplicated under a second name.

Funding

No public capital recorded for this project.
