The Zeevonk project is a joint venture between Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its Energy Transition Fund (CI ETF I). This ambitious initiative will advance Vattenfall’s net-zero emissions goals and play a significant role in helping advance Europe towards its target of meeting net-zero emissions by 2050.
The facility will be designed to reach significant peak consumption and, once complete, the produced hydrogen will be transported via pipeline to the nearby hydrogen grid, Hydrogen Network Rotterdam. This network is the first phase of the new Dutch hydrogen infrastructure centered in the Port of Rotterdam, one of Europe’s most significant energy ports.
Gerry Traynor, President of Projects for the Eastern Hemisphere at Wood, said: “We are thrilled to deliver this next phase of the state-of-the-art energy system at Zeevonk, applying our extensive expertise in large-scale green hydrogen projects, which are crucial to the world’s energy transition.
“Wood is delivering a design that maximises value engineering and applies our operability knowledge, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective solution. Our role in delivering this project underpins Wood’s commitment to delivering low-carbon solutions for clients and driving forward the accessibility and scalability of low-emission energy sources around the globe.”
Claus Vissing-Jørgensen, Project Director at Zeevonk, said: “We are excited to collaborate with Wood to bring our hydrogen vision to life in the Netherlands. The awarding of our FEED represents a significant milestone for our large-scale hydrogen plant planned in the Maasvlakte area. Over the next 10 months, the FEED will provide detailed cost estimates and lay the groundwork for our upcoming EPC tender process, expected in Q2 this year.”
