REFHYNE II will use renewable electricity to produce up to 44,000 kilograms of renewable hydrogen daily, partially decarbonising fuel production at Shell’s Wesseling refinery. The electrolyser is scheduled to begin operating in 2027.
The REFHYNE II project builds on the lessons learned from the 10-MW REFHYNE I plant, which was put into operation in 2021, and on ITM’s and Linde’s experience in engineering, constructing, and operating other green hydrogen projects across Europe.
Dennis Schulz, CEO of ITM, commented: “Shell is a leading global energy company, and we are proud they have selected us for this prestigious project. The performance of our latest generation electrolyser stacks in the REFHYNE I plant played an important role in Shell’s proceeding to FID, as did their extensive due diligence on our technology and our capability to deliver this large-scale commercial project.”
