Ørsted - Haddock (NL32)

Ørsted has evolved from being a carbon intensive power producer in the utility industry into a leading energy transformation company and has become one of the world’s greenest electricity producers. Ørsted currently develops, constructs, and operates offshore and onshore wind farms, solar farms, energy storage facilities, renewable hydrogen and green fuels facilities, and bioenergy plants. Ørsted’s renewable hydrogen projects enable sectors that are difficult to power directly with electricity, such as many areas of industry, and different forms of heavy transport (including shipping and aviation), to decarbonise.

 With the Haddock project, Ørsted is developing a 100 MW electrolyser installation, powered with electricity from the Dutch wind farm Borssele 1&2, to produce renewable hydrogen. The Haddock project will become one of the key large-scale projects to enable The Netherlands to realise its large renewable hydrogen potential. Moreover, it will act as a steppingstone towards GW scale electrolysis towards 2030.

 The project intends to replace fossil-based hydrogen, produced by large industrial companies, with renewable hydrogen which, in turn, is used for production of green products, such as e-ammonia and green fertiliser. The project aims to kickstart the hydrogen value chain, which will support and accelerate investments in regional and national hydrogen transport infrastructure, thereby enabling the decarbonisation of industry and mobility in the province of Zeeland and beyond. Through this project, around 92.000 tonnes of CO2 could be abated yearly.

 This hydrogen plant will be located in the province of Zeeland, The Netherlands, and will be connected to the regional and national hydrogen backbone. The project is expected to be realised in 2026/2027.
