The Netherlands – Demi water for Shell’s green hydrogen plant will be provided by Evides Industriewater for the following 15 years.
Building a new demineralized water pipeline to the hydrogen plant at the H2 Conversion Park in the Port of Rotterdam is a requirement of the deal.
Demi water is extremely pure water that has had all minerals and salts removed. Water of very high quality is a crucial raw element for electrolysis and cooling throughout the hydrogen production process. The Dutch energy transition depends heavily on hydrogen, particularly the green hydrogen that Shell will be producing.

On Maasvlakte 2, Shell will construct a factory for the manufacture of hydrogen. This facility will be totally powered by the wind farm at Hollandse Kust. The Holland Hydrogen 1 will create 60,000 kg of renewable hydrogen every day, making it the biggest renewable hydrogen factory in Europe. In the beginning, this green hydrogen will partially replace the gray hydrogen used in the manufacturing of energy goods like gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. By 2025, the factory ought to be running.
Water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen to produce hydrogen. Green hydrogen is created when you do this using renewable energy, which prevents the release of CO2.
Evides Industriewater uses the Demiwater Plant Maasvlakte to provide the demi water required to produce hydrogen. Demi water is created using water from the Brielse Meer, which is refilled with water from the Maas and Rhine.
