VoltH2
VoltH2 is committed to developing and operating green hydrogen plants in Europe. The company focuses exclusively on the large-scale production of green hydrogen. This hydrogen is intended for use by local industry and the transport sector. The first two production facilities are currently being developed in Vlissingen and Terneuzen (the Netherlands). These plants are already licensed and are expected to be operational in 2026. Scalability has been taken into account in the design of both installations: in the initial phase, each installation will produce nearly 2 million kg (1,890 tonnes) of green hydrogen per year. In time, production will be expanded to grow along with the market for green hydrogen. Since the spring of 2022, VoltH2 has been developing a third green hydrogen plant in Delfzijl (within Groningen Seaports). At the start-up, which is planned for the end of 2026, VoltH2 anticipates a production capacity of approximately 50 MW (3,800 tonnes). At the beginning of 2023, VoltH2 announced the development of a German hydrogen plant in Wilhelmshaven, Germany's primary energy hub. Later that year, steps were taken for a second and third German site in the industrial-rich Ruhr region, specifically in Essen-Frillendorf and Gelsenkirchen. With the six current locations in the Netherlands and Germany, VoltH2 has a portfolio with a potential production capacity of over 500 MW. VoltH2 is a collaboration between Volt Energy (the company of founder André Jurres), Virya Energy and DIF Capital Partners.
