Air Liquide to support European decarbonisation in collaboration with TotalEnergies
In a major step towards decarbonizing European industry and mobility, Air Liquide announces two large-scale electrolyzer projects to produce renewable and low-carbon hydrogen in Europe. The first project, ELYgator, an Air Liquide 200MW electrolyzer, will supply both TotalEnergies’ industrial platform and other European industrial and heavy-duty mobility needs, leveraging already secured renewable electricity from two offshore windfarms. In addition, Air Liquide and TotalEnergies announce the creation of a joint venture to develop a 250MW electrolyzer to supply the Zeeland refinery site.
Upon completion, these two projects would represent a combined investment of more than 1bn€ and enable the avoidance of up to 500 000 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions per year, strengthening Air Liquide's undisputed technological leadership for decarbonizing Europe industry and mobility.
ELYgator, a 200MW Air Liquide electrolyzer project
Air Liquide projects to build, own and operate a 200MW electrolyzer in Maasvlakte, Rotterdam. With an estimated production of up to 23,000 tons of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen annually, the project will notably supply TotalEnergies’ industrial platform through a long term contract. In addition, thanks to its existing hydrogen pipeline network, Air Liquide will also be able to serve additional Dutch and Belgian customers with industrial and heavy-duty mobility needs. Air Liquide will leverage renewable power production from TotalEnergies’ share of OranjeWind windfarm as well as Power Purchase Agreements with Vattenfall from the Hollandse Kust Zuid (HKZ) offshore wind farm off the Dutch coast.
This project has already been provided support from the EU’s Innovation Fund and the Dutch IPCEI program. With the implementation of RFNBO regulations and requested subsidies, the project will be operational at the end of 2027.
Creation of a new Air Liquide TotalEnergies joint venture to build a 250 MW electrolyzer projec
Leading the path to decarbonization of the industry, Air Liquide and TotalEnergies also announce the creation of a 50/50 Joint Venture to develop a 250MW electrolyzer in the Zeeland province, Netherlands. Powered by renewable power from TotalEnergies’ share of Oranjewind, this project aims to produce up to 30,000 tons of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen annually with an ambition to be completed in 2029 pending final authorizations and investment decision.
For these two projects, Air Liquide will leverage leading electrolyzer technology manufactured by its joint venture with Siemens Energy.
Emilie Mouren-Renouard, member of the Air Liquide Executive Committee, notably in charge of Europe operations, said: "Flagship projects such as the ones we are announcing today, will play a key role in reducing emissions, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors such as industry and heavy mobility. We are proud to lead the way on European renewable and low-carbon hydrogen production, and to accompany TotalEnergies in their journey to decarbonizing their industrial assets. These two projects will complete the five Air Liquide low carbon units already in operation or construction in Europe. This illustrates our capacity to offer concrete solutions to our customers, to reach our carbon neutrality ambition by 2050, and to support Europe’s leadership ambition towards decarbonized growth. It also demonstrates the ability of Air Liquide to develop solid business models in the energy field of low carbon hydrogen"
Vincent Stoquart, President, Refining & Chemicals at TotalEnergies, said: "Following the first partnership agreement with Air Liquide to supply the Normandy refinery with green hydrogen, and the agreements to supply the Grandpuits and La Mède biorefineries with renewable hydrogen, the partnership with Air Liquide takes on a new dimension and marks a new step in TotalEnergies' ambition to decarbonize the hydrogen consumed by its refineries in Europe by 2030. By supplying these two electrolyzers with renewable electricity from our offshore wind project in the Netherlands, TotalEnergies is leveraging its positioning as an integrated electricity company"
