Goeree-Overflakkee will soon have a production location for green hydrogen, the Greenpoint (Van Kessel Group) announced. For this purpose, the Van Kessel group will build an electrolyzer in Oude-Tonge. Using water and locally produced green electricity, green hydrogen will then be produced for use in mobility, construction, home heating and industry.
The installation will be built next to the Greenpoint hydrogen filling station on the N59 in Oude-Tonge. Hydrogen drivers can then immediately refuel the freshly produced hydrogen there. In addition, there will also be charging locations for so-called ‘tube trailers’. These are special tankers for transporting hydrogen to other filling stations, construction and industrial projects.
Electrolyzer for renewable hydrogen
An Enapter AEM 1MW electrolyzer has been chosen. This can produce 160,000 kg of green hydrogen annually. The green energy required for the electrolyser will come from solar panels on the canopies of the filling station, among other things. The construction and engineering is in the hands of Adsensys from Klundert.
An important support for this project comes from the OWE support program for large-scale production of fully renewable hydrogen via electrolysis from the Dutch government. The installation is expected to be fully operational at the beginning of 2026.
