Shell becomes first hydrogen pipeline customer at Port of Rotterdam

HyTransPortRTM, the hydrogen pipeline in the Port of Rotterdam that will run between the Maasvlakte and Pernis, has found its first customer in Shell, which has signed an agreement to use it.

Gasunie is laying the pipeline in collaboration with the port authority, aiming to make the industry in the port more sustainable by using hydrogen as a fossil-fuel replacement for fuels and raw materials where CO2 is released during production or use.

Holland Hydrogen I, the electrolyser that Shell is going to build at the Conversion Park on the Maasvlakte, will be connected to the pipeline, transporting hydrogen to Pernis via the HyTransPortRTM.
