Air Liquide recently welcomed the Dutch State decision to support its large-scale renewable hydrogen (H2) projects, named ELYgator and CurtHyl, through the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) Hy2Use program.

These projects, which will each have a capacity of 200㎿, will significantly contribute to the decarbonization of the Dutch and neighboring countries’ industry and support the growth of clean mobility markets.

Both electrolyzers will run on renewable electricity. The two projects will produce a total of around 30,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year without generating any CO2 emissions. Compared to a traditional process, this will avoid the emission of more than 5 million tonnes of CO2 over the period of operation.

The ELYgator project will be located in Terneuzen. The CurtHyl project will be located at the Maasvlakte conversion park in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
