German utility Uniper SE said on Oct. 12 that it has selected Technip Energies NV, Paris, to conduct the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study of its green hydrogen project, H2Maasvlakte, at the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The study will begin immediately.
“Uniper’s decision to start the FEED phase of its 100 MW electrolyzer is an important next step in making Rotterdam Europe’s Hydrogen Hub,” said Allard Castelein, CEO Port of Rotterdam. “It’s our ambition to make the Port of Rotterdam an important location for green hydrogen production, as well as a major import hub. Starting the FEED study shows Uniper’s determination to be part of this transition towards a sustainable industry.”
Uniper hopes the project will eventually produce up to an electrolysis capacity of 500 megawatt by 2030, with the first 100 MW coming in 2025.
