Wood Chosen For Netherlands Green Hydrogen Project

Wood, a consulting and engineering company, was 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, a European energy company, and fund manager Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. The project 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.

Once the project is completed, 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.

“We are excited to collaborate with Wood to bring our hydrogen vision to life in the Netherlands,” said Claus Vissing-Jørgensen, project director at Zeevonk. “The awarding of our FEED represents a significant milestone for our large-scale hydrogen plant planned in the Maasvlakte area. Over the next 10 months, the FEED will provide detailed cost estimates and lay the groundwork for our upcoming EPC tender process, expected in Q2 this year.”
