Battolyser, will install its first plant in the port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands to meet the demand for renewable hydrogen.

A renewable hydrogen cluster

Battolyser will have a production capacity of 1GW per year in the M4H area, an industrial site in the heart of Rotterdam. The site will cover 14,000 square meters. It will also include new offices and laboratories.

The total investment amounts to approximately €100 million. The new plant in Battolyser will have approximately 700 direct employees and up to four times as many indirect jobs. Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam, says:

“Rotterdam is positioning itself as the hydrogen hub of Europe and new sustainable industries are welcome to help make the transition that is taking place in Rotterdam. We need companies like Battolyser Systems, and we believe the port is the perfect location for its first large-scale plant.”

Mattijs Slee, CEO of Battolyser Systems, states:

“This partnership will develop the first industrial green hydrogen equipment manufacturing facility in the Netherlands. With our offshore wind potential, strong infrastructure and world-class heavy industry, the Netherlands can now develop a sustainable and resilient energy system.”

Indeed, a Battolyser can produce hydrogen from solar and wind energy when electricity prices are low. In addition, it can alleviate grid congestion, allow for additional solar and wind energy projects, and offer the cheapest renewable hydrogen.

A European vocation

Germany and the Netherlands are the first and second largest consumers of hydrogen in Europe. Both have large-scale renewable hydrogen projects. This product will be transited through the port of Rotterdam.

The plant will also serve as Battolyser Systems’ headquarters and R&D center. It will open in the second half of 2024. Finally, the final investment decision will be made by the end of 2023.

Mattijs Slee, CEO of Battolyser Systems, states:

“This partnership with the Port of Rotterdam to jointly develop our first large-scale manufacturing facility is a great step forward in our commercialization. The facility allows us to deliver Battolysers on an industrial scale and at affordable prices. We are in constructive conversation with the Dutch government and EU institutions, and we are confident that together we can secure the necessary funding.”

In addition, according to the company, a net zero world will require between 5,000 and 10,000GW of installed electrolysis capacity. The electrolyser supply chain is an opportunity for the Netherlands to develop new sustainable industries.
