We're also working with Shell to enable renewable hydrogen production at the Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland.
The REFHYNE II project will install a 100 MW electrolyzer that is expected to produce up to 44,000 kilograms of renewable hydrogen every day, which will be used to produce energy products such as transport fuels with a lower carbon intensity and to help further decarbonize its operations. The electrolyzer will be based on the 10 MW electrolyzer, REFHYNE I, which started up in 2021 and uses the same technology.
We provided early front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED), FEED, detailed design and critical integration to the existing infrastructure.
The project recently achieved a final investment decision (FID) in July 2024.
"These projects build on our long-term collaboration with Shell at its Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland. Our deep domain knowledge of Shell's asset, local delivery capabilities and sector expertise enables us to support Shell's transformation efforts and investments. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our long-standing partnership with Shell in Germany," said André van Drunen, Managing Director, Germany.
Marijn Bezuijen, Project Director Rheinland, said, "The Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland is on a transformation journey to help Shell become a net zero emissions company by 2050. In the coming years, we will be working on key projects to achieve this. I am delighted that we are once again drawing on Worley's expertise to help us make them a success."
