Evonik has signed a term sheet with Dutch company VoltH2 to advance green hydrogen production at the Delfzijl chemical park. According to the agreement, VoltH2 will construct a 50 MW electrolyzer near Evonik’s hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plant. Evonik will then source a significant portion of its hydrogen demand from the electrolyzer, which will start operations at the end of 2027. The facility will be the first green hydrogen water electrolysis plant at an industrial scale in the North of the Netherlands.
For the interim, Evonik’s remaining hydrogen needs will continue to be provided by its own conventional on-site hydrogen production. This solution will ensure uninterrupted supply until green hydrogen capacity grows to fully cover demand at all times. VoltH2 will also construct a tube trailer filling station on Evonik’s premises. The hydrogen in tube trailers will be made available to VoltH2’s other customers around the clock.
The collaboration aims not only to forward Evonik’s own sustainability agenda, but also to form, together with VoltH2, the nucleus of a wider hydrogen network at this important industrial hub.
