Innovation Project
REPHYNE 2
Hydrogen production
This project is the continuation of the REFHYNE project (see project "REFHYNE"), in which the Shell Rheinland refinery in Wesseling is installing a 10 MW PEM electrolyser to supply clean refinery hydrogen for Europe. In the frame of this EU-financed follow-up project REFHYNE II, a 100 MW PEM electrolyser is used to generate cost-effective and timely green hydrogen and oxygen. The project will build on the experience of the REFHYNE team and build the electrolyser at the same site. REFHYNE II will develop a viable business model for large-scale electrolysis in refineries, where hydrogen and oxygen streams will be upgraded, credits from the Renewable Energy Directive will be obtained for the value-added water consumption, and efficiency and capital costs will be improved.
