The agreement also provides for the possible construction of a pipeline to a tanker transfer point. A long-term concession contract is expected to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Daan Schalck, CEO of North Sea Port, said: &#8220;VoltH2&#8217;s investment in a green hydrogen plant is in line with the energy transition that North Sea Port is working on with many partners. It also contributes to the port\u2019s development as an Energy Port. The power station will also makes it possible to further develop North Sea Port as a multimodal port, with transport of hydrogen by road, rail and water.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Substantial production<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>VoltH2 envisages the construction of a 25MW electrolysis unit using proven, commercially available technology. The plant will produce up to 3,600t of green hydrogen annually. By integrating hydrogen storage, local filling stations can also be supplied, thus contributing to increased sustainability for North Sea Port. The design of the green hydrogen plant will allow for an expansion of up to 100MW with a potential production of 14,400t of green hydrogen per year.<\/p>\n<p>The plant could supply green hydrogen in the wider area or to the gas network.
