The Zeevonk venture is a joint venture between Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners
Wood, a global chief in consulting and engineering, 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 using offshore wind and floating offshore solar from the Zeevonk offshore innovations.
The Zeevonk venture is a joint venture among Vattenfall, a main European power enterprise, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), the world’s biggest committed fund supervisor within greenfield renewable energy funding, by its Energy Transition Fund (CI ETF I). This formidable action will improve Vattenfall’s net-zero emissions goals and play a tremendous role in promoting Europe toward its goal of meeting net-zero emissions through 2050.
The facility will be designed to attain suggestive peak intake and, once finished, the manufactured hydrogen might be supplied by pipeline to the close by hydrogen grid, Hydrogen Network Rotterdam. This network is the first aspect of the new Dutch hydrogen infrastructure centered within the Port of Rotterdam, one among Europe’s maximum good sized energy ports.
Gerry Traynor, President of ventures Eastern Hemisphere at Wood, stated: “We are pleased to supply this next aspect of the ultra-modern energy device at Zeevonk, implementing our vast information in massive-scale green hydrogen ventures, that are essential to the world’s energy transformation.
“Wood is supplying a design that enhance value engineering and applies our useful knowledge, making sure a dependable and cost-powerful solution. Our position in turning in this venture underpins Woods dedication to suppling over low-carbon solutions for clients and driving ahead the accessibility and scalability of low-emission energy resources around the globe.”
Claus Vising – Jorgensen, venture Director at Zeevonk, stated: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Wood to convey our hydrogen vision to life in the Netherlands. The honoring of our FEED represents a suggestive milestone for our huge-scale hydrogen plant planned in the Maasvlakte area. Over the following 10 months, the FEED will give precise cost figures and lay the basis for our upcoming EPC tender technique, anticipated in Q2 this year.”
This identifies Wood’s third transformative venture with CIP. Wood become decided on as owner’s engineer for their Coalburn Storage venture in Scotland, which is about to be Europe’s biggest battery storage unit. Also, Wood is the engineering services offerings issuer for CIP’s green hydrogen Catalina venture in Spain.
