Lhyfe has announced it began delivering renewable hydrogen to Essent, the largest energy supplier in the Netherlands. This hydrogen is being used to power the GROHW project, one of the first renewable hydrogen projects in the Netherlands to be actually implemented.
As part of a contract already mentioned in Lhyfe's 2024 half-year results, Lhyfe will provide Essent with renewable green hydrogen under a multi-year supply contract.
The GROHW partners aim to jointly advance solutions to reduce CO2 emissions in the Netherlands. With this in mind, Lhyfe’s renewable hydrogen will be used in the testing centre of Nefit Bosch – a subsidiary of the international Bosch group – which is part of the GROHW project. This testing centre, located in Deventer is dedicated to testing various systems including hydrogen boilers. Lhyfe’s renewable hydrogen will be used to test these boilers. Bosch is indeed interested in hydrogen applications in the built environment sector, where it represents one of the potential alternatives to natural gas. The company aims to commercialise a 'H2 Ready' combi boiler by 2029 that can be converted to renewable hydrogen.
Luc Graré, Head of Central & Eastern Europe at Lhyfe, commented: “This first delivery to Essent marks the kick-off of our commercial activity in the Netherlands – a priority market for us – in the best possible way: with a leading energy supplier. This collaboration also paves the way for new applications of renewable hydrogen through Nefit Bosch’s development - a very good news that confirms the dynamism of the sector. It is therefore an important step in our mission to make renewable hydrogen widely available and to support the decarbonisation of industry. We are proud to play our part with our green renewable hydrogen and our robust supply chain, relying on a large fleet of containers of up to 40 feet to meet Essent's needs.”
In the Netherlands, Lhyfe has announced a 200 MW project in 2022 in the Chemical Park Delfzijl, the Netherlands, which aims to be operational by 2030 with an initial installed phase of 120 MW, for applications in the chemical sector. This site would also be connected to the European backbone.
