Process
The process for making green hydrogen starts with converting seawater into demineralised water on the platform.
Informative videos
The pilot project aims to investigate the practical aspects of integrating working energy systems at sea and producing hydrogen in an offshore environment, to see how offshore conditions, including salt, affect the electrolyser.
News
The PosHYdon pilot kicked off the onshore test successfully at the premises of InVesta in Alkmaar. PosHYdon aims to produce green hydrogen on an operational gas platform in the Dutch North Sea.
The Dutch state is stepping in as an active partner in PosHYdon through Energie Beheer Nederland (EBN).
Prime Minister Rutte will pay a working visit to the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam and various locations in the North Sea. His visit will be all about the energy-transition. Of course PosHYdon will be included on this day.
