ELYgator and CurtHyl, two Air Liquide renewable hydrogen production projects, receive support from the Netherlands.

A European program

ELYgator and CurtHyl are part of the Hy2Use program of the Important Common European Hydrogen Interest Project (PIIEC). Both projects have a capacity of 200MW each. In this way, they will contribute to the decarbonization of industry in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries.

The electrolysers will both run on renewable electricity. ELYgator and CurtHyl will produce a total of about 30,000 tons of renewable hydrogen per year without generating CO2 emissions. Thus, they will avoid the emission of more than five million tons of CO2 over the course of their operation.

The ELYgator project will be located in Terneuse in the Netherlands. The CurtHyl project will be located at the Maasvlakte 2 site in the Rotterdam conversion park. The two world-scale electrolysers will be integrated into Air Liquide’s existing portfolio of assets.

Political support

Pascal Vinet, Senior Vice-President of the Company and member of the Air Liquide Executive Committee, supervising in particular the Europe Industries activities, declares:

“Air Liquide is delighted that the Dutch authorities have recognized the unique character of these two flagship projects for the development of renewable hydrogen in the Netherlands. The Group remains more than ever committed to making low-carbon hydrogen a driver of the energy transition, as part of its ADVANCE strategic plan.”

ELYgator and CurtHyl will enable the supply of low-carbon hydrogen to multiple customers in the industry and mobility sectors. Both projects contribute to the Dutch and European climate ambitions.

Hydrogen will play a key role in decarbonization, particularly in the industries that emit the most CO2. In addition, this grant is a major step towards the final investment decision. In addition, ELYgator and CurtHyl are subject to regulatory approvals.

The ELYgator project is supported by the European Union’s Innovation Fund. This Fund is 100% financed by the European Union’s emissions trading schemes. In addition, ELYgator and CurtHyl are supported by the IPCEI Hydrogen Grant Program
