The project

Eemshydrogen is a hydrogen project by RWE in the North of the Netherlands. The plan is to build an electrolyser for the production of green hydrogen on the Eemshavencentrale site. Green hydrogen is made using sustainable wind or solar energy. We are able to store or transport the green hydrogen produced to end users such as the chemical industry.

Why this project?

Green hydrogen is necessary for a successful energy transition. Eemshydrogen can, for example, supply clean hydrogen to the transport sector. Or to the chemical plants on the industrial site in Delfzijl, which need a lot of hydrogen. The green hydrogen will partly replace the grey hydrogen, thereby helping to reduce industrial carbon emissions.

Growing demand for green hydrogen; RWE produces, distributes, and supplies hydrogen at the most favorable conditions

RWE is not only a leader in the development of a hydrogen infrastructure but will also make the renewable gas available to customers in Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands on a large scale.
Is your company looking for a professional business solution to enter the world of hydrogen? Then please get in touch with us. RWE’s team of experts will process incoming enquiries quickly and provide the best and most sustainable solution for the use of certified* green hydrogen for each individual need.

*Certification will be carried out once all regulatory requirements from the EU Commission have been publicized.

Green Hydrogen Production at Eemshydrogen

In this visual you can see the components of green hydrogen production in our Eemshydrogen plant.

By providing green hydrogen to customers, Eemshydrogen will enable the industrial companies in the region – and beyond - to achieve CO2 emission reduction.

What benefits will it bring?

Unlike solar or wind energy, hydrogen isn’t dependent on the weather. We can store hydrogen and use it when we need it, e.g. even on still and cloudy days. The electrolyser we are going to build for the production of green hydrogen will have a capacity up to 50 megawatts. The green hydrogen the electrolyser will soon be producing will be able to save more than 250,000 tonnes of CO2 across the duration of the project. That is equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of thirteen thousand households.

Our contribution

We are proud leaders in the development of green hydrogen and have the knowledge and possibilities available in house to produce it. A good example is the electrolyser site in Lingen (Germany).

With the Eemshydrogen project, we are contributing to the scaling-up of the production of green hydrogen.
