Just before the opening of the COP24 on December 2 in Katowice, 27 Dutch organisations, among which TenneT (TSO) , Stedin (DSO), Gasunie, VNO-NCW (business association), City of Groningen, the Port authorities of Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Groningen, Nouryon and Tata Steel confirmed commitment to a 300 mln 3-4 GW electrolyser installation initiative by 2030. This will push the price of hydrogen down to between € 1,50 – €3,00 per kg by 2030.
Five locations will be involved to build hydrogen production facilities: in provinces of Zeeland and Limburg and cities of Rotterdam, IJmuiden and Groningen.
The coalition also commits itself in building an 1GW off shore facility by 2030.
The pipeline opened on November 27 by Gasunie transport hydrogen form DOW Chemical in Terneuzen to fertilizer company Yara and reduces 0,15 petajoule of energy consumption and 10.000 tonnes of CO2.
The CTC Network promotes the accelerated transfer of environmentally sound technologies for low carbon and climate resilient development at the request of developing countries.
