Holland Hydrogen I, the electrolyser that Shell is mosting likely to develop at the Conversion Park on the Maasvlakte, will certainly be attached to the pipe.
The hydrogen is carried from the conversion park to Pernis by means of the HyTransPort RTM pipe. The hydrogen pipe will certainly remain in usage at the end of 2024, early 2025. In time, the pipe will certainly be attached to the nationwide as well as worldwide hydrogen network.

Hydrogen is made use of, to name a few points, as a power provider for commercial procedures where electrification can not satisfy the needs, such as heat procedures in the petrochemical market, and also as a basic material for chemical items. ‘As part of the future energy mix, sustainable hydrogen will make an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions in industry,’ states Helmie Botter, Business Development supervisor for hydrogen at Gasunie.
This very first stage of the transportation pipe is a vital web link for the lasting hydrogen economic climate in the Netherlands as well asNorthwest Europe In time, HyTransPort RTM will certainly attach to the nationwide as well as worldwide hydrogen transportation system.
