H-vision

H-vision is a large-scale blue hydrogen project in the Port of Rotterdam area in the Netherlands. A consortium of multiple parties in the port area are developing four steam-reforming plants, with a total capacity of 15-20 tonnes of hydrogen per hour. CO₂ will be captured and stored in empty gas fields under the North Sea. The goal is to realise the complete project by 2030. In 2018, a feasibility study was started to explore the business case, technological challenges, hydrogen markets and CCS. The first plant is planned to open in 2025. The H-vision project will realise additional hydrogen supply to be used in e.g. power generation and as chemical feedstock. The final goal is to capture and store 8 Mt of CO₂ per year. Companies involved are Deltalinqs, Air Liquide, BP, Gasunie, Port of Rotterdam, Power Plant Rotterdam, Shell, Uniper, Vopak and ExxonMobil.
