A spokesperson for Shell said: “The Rhienland electrolyser will use renewable electricity to produce up to 1300 tonnes of green hydrogen a year. This will initially be used to produce fuels with lower carbon intensity. The green hydrogen will also be used to help decarbonise other industries.”
In addition, Shell has partnered with EDF Renewables to build a wind farm off the coast of New Jersey, USA. The project includes plans for a 5-10 MW electrolysis facility; these plans have been approved by the state’s Board of Public Utilities.
