Broad coalition from Greenpeace to Port Authority calls for incentives for hydrogen investments

Hydrogen is essential if the Port of Rotterdam is to reduce CO2 emissions. Hydrogen is an alternative to natural gas and can be produced using green electricity and water. This makes it climate neutral. Hydrogen is taking an increasingly important position in the port’s three-step plan to be climate neutral within thirty years. Step two involves changes to the energy system through the use of electricity and hydrogen.

Various projects are underway in Rotterdam, including project H-vision to produce blue hydrogen, the development of a hydrogen network, a study into a 250 MW electrolyser from Nouryon for BP and the development of a 2 GW conversion park where electricity from offshore wind farms is converted into hydrogen.
