The plant is expected to start producing approximately 5,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually from the second half of 2027, supplying local industries.
Sweco is already involved in the design of VoltH2’s plants in Vlissingen and Terneuzen, the Netherlands, and has now been selected to provide basic engineering and design (BED) services for the new plant in Delfzijl.
André Jurres, CEO of VoltH2, commented: “VoltH2 has chosen to partner with Sweco because of their combination of international reach and local presence in the regions that we are targeting. Their knowledge of local legislation makes Sweco well-suited for advising us in the permitting processes. Moreover, Sweco has relevant hydrogen projects in their track record and top experts with the necessary technical know-how.”
Sweco has extensive experience in integrating electrolysis technologies, hydrogen storage and treatment, and alternative hydrogen carriers. Client projects span the entire hydrogen chain, including investment plans, permits, production, import, transport, storage, and equipment modifications.
“These are exciting times during which all stakeholders need to move quickly to enable the green transition,” said Åsa Bergman, President and CEO of Sweco. “At Sweco, we are well positioned to be advising VoltH2 in this area since we have cross-country specialist knowledge gained from numerous hydrogen projects across Europe. Our experts have been participating in this project through the investment and permit phase and can quickly deliver a detailed preliminary design to VoltH2.”
VoltH2 has secured permits for the development of three green hydrogen plants in the Netherlands and will develop an additional three plants in Germany.
