Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser, a subsidiary of Nel ASA, has signed a contract for 40 MW of alkaline electrolyser equipment for approximately 12 million Euros with HyCC for its H2eron project in Delfzijl, the Netherlands. Kraftanlagen Energies & Services has been retained for the FEED study related to the project.
Hydrogen to produce sustainable fuels for aviation
SkyNRG will use hydrogen to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), made from industrial by-products and residues, such as used cooking oil.
“Reliable supplies of green hydrogen are key to decarbonizing sectors such as the aviation industry. We are building on decades of experience in large-scale electrolysis and are excited to move to the next phase of the project with these strong partners to lay the foundation for the hydrogen economy,” said Marcel Galjee, CEO of HyCC.
Environmental permit for the project
HyCC recently received the environmental permit for the project. The company is working toward a final investment decision (FID) in 2024, in close collaboration with SkyNRG and its partners.
“H2eron will have a great positive impact on aviation emissions reductions, and we are proud to be selected as the supplier of our well-proven electrolyzer technology for this exciting and important project,” says Hans Hide, Nel’s Head of Projects. “We are also delighted to be working with Kraftanlagen on this project, a professional EPC company. This allows Nel to focus on its area of expertise while providing a competitive solution for the hydrogen production system to the customer.”
“We are proud to bring our proven EPC expertise to this flagship project. This project will significantly support the decarbonization of the aviation industry. It is important that large-scale green hydrogen production plants are now becoming a reality and H2eron will provide a more sustainable aviation”, says Alfons Weber, CEO of Kraftanlagen Energies & Services.
This is a firm order for alkaline electrolyzer equipment. The production of electrodes is estimated to start in the 4th quarter of 2025.
