The Dutch Ministry of Climate and Green Growth (KGG) is postponing the ‘call for proposals’ for demonstration project 1 for offshore hydrogen production by a few months, the Nationaal Waterstof Programmareported. This decision follows the (preliminary) results of the internet consultation. These show, among other things, that the previous planning was too ambitious.
The Ministry of Climate and Green Growth (KGG) will ultimately select one consortium that will carry out demonstration project 1. That consortium will receive a so-called tailor-made subsidy.
Demonstration project 1 is the first step. It concerns an electrolyser with a capacity of approximately 30-50 megawatts (MW). The location is in or near the Hollandse Kust (noord) wind farm. The project must start commercial hydrogen production in 2031.
