General – FEED Contract Zeevonk
UK-based 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 CIP. 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.
Gerry Traynor, President of Projects Eastern Hemisphere at Wood, said: “We are thrilled to deliver this next phase of the state-of-the-art energy system at Zeevonk, applying our extensive expertise in large-scale green hydrogen projects, which are crucial to the world’s energy transition.”
“Wood is delivering a design that maximises value engineering and applies our operability knowledge, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective solution. Our role in delivering this project underpins Woods commitment to delivering low-carbon solutions for clients and driving forward the accessibility and scalability of low-emission energy sources around the globe.”
