Finnish Neste has begun the basic engineering phase of the 120 MW electrolyzer project at its refinery in Porvoo, the company announced. And with an investment decision on track to be made in 2024, green hydrogen production could start as soon as 2026, said
In Rotterdam, Neste is setting up a demonstration unit for green hydrogen production – the world’s first multi-megawatt electrolyzer based on the innovative SOEC (solid oxide electrolysis cell) technology that is integrated into industrial production.
In the short term, #Neste plans to use green hydrogen to provide more sustainable support for its refinery processes. However, in the longer term, the company plans to use hydrogen as a raw material for e-fuels, further supporting the company’s climate and sustainability goals.
“Many of hydrogen’s current applications are very challenging to decarbonize, and can’t be solved directly with electrification. Instead, electrification must work hand-in-hand with green #hydrogen,” says Outi Ervasti, Vice President, Renewable Hydrogen at Neste.
