Aberdeen/UK – Wood has been awarded the front-end engineering design (Feed) scope for the Zeevonk hydrogen facility, in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The hydrogen plant will be powered by offshore wind and floating offshore solar from the Zeevonk offshore developments.

The Zeevonk project is a joint venture between Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), the world’s largest dedicated fund manager within greenfield renewable energy investments, through its Energy Transition Fund (CI ETF I). This ambitious initiative will advance Vattenfall’s net-zero emissions goals and play a significant role in advancing Europe towards its target of meeting net-zero emissions by 2050.

The facility will be designed to reach significant peak consumption and, once complete, the produced hydrogen will be transported via pipeline to the nearby hydrogen grid, Hydrogen Network Rotterdam. This network is the first phase of the new Dutch hydrogen infrastructure centered in the Port of Rotterdam, one of Europe’s most significant energy ports.
