“Large-scale projects like this demonstrate that industry plays a central role in scaling up the hydrogen economy and that the business case in Europe is viable under the right conditions – particularly the alignment of affordable green electricity and reliable off-takers. We believe our technology can make a competitive contribution,” said Dr. Werner Ponikwar, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera.
thyssenkrupp nucera will further develop the project in close collaboration with the customer, with the aim of signing an EPF (Engineering, Procurement, Fabrication) contract in the next phase. The realisation of the project is subject to a Final Investment Decision thereafter, which could be taken in 2026.
This would be the third large-scale hydrogen project in the region to be realised using thyssenkrupp nucera’s technology. Currently, two projects are already underway: a 200 MW facility for Shell in Rotterdam and a 740 MW facility for Stegra, supporting the development of Europe’s first industrial green steel plant.
