Linde Engineering has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Shell Deutschland GmbH to construct a 100 MW green hydrogen plant for the REFHYNE II project at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland in Wesseling, Germany. Linde Engineering will handle the engineering, procurement, and construction of the new proton-exchange membrane (PEM) hydrogen electrolysis facility, with electrolyzer stacks supplied by ITM Power.

Furthermore, the facility is expected to commence operations in 2027. REFHYNE II is projected to generate up to 44,000 kg of renewable hydrogen daily, aiming to partially decarbonise the operations at the site. This hydrogen will be utilised to produce cleaner energy products, such as low-carbon transport fuels. As the demand for renewable hydrogen grows, REFHYNE II could also supply industrial customers in the region, aiding them in reducing their emissions. 

The REFHYNE II project is supported by financial backing from both the European Union and the Federal Government and benefits from a regulatory framework that promotes the use of renewable hydrogen. REFHYNE II builds on the success of the 10 MW PEM electrolyzer REFHYNE I, which began operations in 2021 and utilises PEM electrolyzer technology.
