Marcel Galjee, Energy Director at Nouryon Industrial Chemicals, adds: 'Green hydrogen is a cornerstone of building a sustainable, circular economy. Nouryon is already a leader in electrolysis in
The first large-scale zero-carbon hydrogen project to be implemented in
The 20 MW hydrogen production platform will be designed, manufactured and integrated by McPhy with its innovative electrolysis technology 'Augmented McLyzer' and will convert green electricity by electrolysis into 3,000 tons of clean hydrogen per year.
This will be used to produce bio methanol and will contribute to reducing CO2 emissions by up to 27,000 tons per year.
This project, initiated by Nouryon, a leading specialty chemical company, and Gasunie, a gas infrastructure company, is a front-runner among hydrogen initiatives with the objective of reducing carbon emissions.
The project's value chain breaks down as follows: Conversion of electricity from renewable sources into zero-carbon hydrogen (by the 20 MW electrolysis platform developed by McPhy); Transport of hydrogen from the point of production to the point of consumption; Production of clean methanol.
The proposed clean hydrogen project will be funded by an
McPhy, a technological breakthrough allowing hydrogen to transition to an industrial scale
Following a technological review conducted by Nouryon, the innovative electrolysis technology 'Augmented McLyzer' by McPhy has been selected to be the cornerstone of this key project.
'This reflects our constant innovation policy as well as our expertise in large-scale platforms electrolysis. Our electrolysis platform will produce zero-carbon hydrogen with best-in class performances. This project confirms the relevance of our technological positioning and our transition to an industrial scale, in order to better meet the future needs of the industry as well as the mobility and energy sectors', concludes
The 'Augmented McLyzer' technology consists of a unique combination of McPhy 30-bar high-pressure alkaline electrolysis and a package of advanced electrodes, specifically designed for large-scale platforms (multi-MW).
It is currently the most mature and robust technology available on the market, recognized among the market leaders and one of the most promising in terms of future development.
McPhy will be involved in the pre-engineering phase and subsequently in the detailed engineering, production and commissioning of the electrolysis platform.
