Leading the transition to a greener world
EnergHys, coordinated by TotalEnergies Renewables Nederland B.V., contributes to the ambitious European objective of climate neutrality by 2050 by kickstarting a complete hydrogen value chain in the Vlissingen area near the industrial harbour facilities and the future hydrogen (H2) backbone. In addition, the replicable modular design will allow scale up and cost optimisation which will contribute to the deployment of domestic renewable hydrogen production in line with the European Hydrogen Strategy.
The lessons that will be learnt through the EnergHys project will positively impact all sectors of the value chain, from offshore wind to electrolysers facilities and ultimately to H2 mobility activities, by providing them with practical data and knowledge. Furthermore, the project will accelerate the maturity curve and consequently help to lower costs and to move towards a circular economy.

Our vision for a hydrogen future
The EnergHys project plans to produce clean hydrogen with a 300 megawatt (MW) electrolyser, located in the Vlissingen area, the Netherlands. This electrolyser system, powered by renewable energy from offshore wind farms, can produce up to 22 000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually.
The overall objective of EnergHys is to become a world leading clean hydrogen hub, aiming to unlock wider environmental and economic benefits for hard-to-abate industrial customers and the mobility sector.
The location benefits from existing infrastructure and resources, uniquely positioned due to its proximity to offshore wind electricity landing points in Borssele and the high voltage Borssele station connected to a 380 kV grid. The proximity to the Zeeland Refinery, a significant and flexible hydrogen consumer, presents operational and utility management synergies. The upcomingconnection to the H2 regional backbone will enhance off-take options and scalability for the project.
Discover where EnergHys is located
The EnergHys project is strategically situated in Vlissingen-Oost, Zeeland, the Netherlands, specifically at the Van Citters harbour, part of the Vlissingen harbour with access to the Westerschelde estuary and the North Sea. This site, accessible by both ships and trucks, is served by seagoing and inland shipping - the most efficient form of transportation. Located within the North Sea Port area, the site enjoys strong public player involvement.
