REFHYNE

🌟 Our project REFHYNE was successfully concluded with a final event in Germany, celebrating the development and operation of a 10MW PEM electrolyser! Our Head of Unit Operations and Communication Mirela Atanasiu shared her insights on the conclusion of REFHYNE: 🎤 “It is great to see the successful conclusion of one of our largest electrolyser development and demonstration projects. REFHYNE brought together key players in the hydrogen sector and successfully developed the largest high-pressure PEM electrolyser within a major refinery. Integrating the electrolyser within the refinery led to significant improvements in its design and certification, advancing the European electrolyser industry as a whole." Funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, this landmark project has successfully promoted green hydrogen production technologies in the EU's energy and environmental policies. 📰 Check out the full press release ➡ https://lnkd.in/e2D8crfw ➡ Project webpage: https://lnkd.in/eC4S9t2h 💡 The project began in January 2018 with the aim to validate the business model for using electrolytic hydrogen as an input to refineries and prove the revenues available from the replacement of hydrogen produced through steam methane reforming and the generation of greenhouse gas quotas. The project’s final report will be available in September 2024. #hydrogentechnologies #electrolysers #electrolyserdevelopment #greenhydrogenproduction

Hot off the press 🔥 As the #REFHYNE project draws to a close, Shell and all the other project partners have made a new video showcasing the achievements and hard work of the last six and a half years 📽 You can watch this below, or on our website: https://lnkd.in/e-q_aNFs #cleanhydrogen #netzero #hydrogen #energytransition ITM Power ERM SINTEF Sphera Clean Hydrogen Partnership Wolfgang Krüper Simon Bourne Anders Ødegård Isobel Kaul

The Clean Refinery Hydrogen for Europe (REFHYNE) project has successfully concluded with a final event in Wesseling, Germany, to celebrate and learn from the development and operation of this 10MW PEM electrolyser. This groundbreaking initiative was the largest operational PEM plant in the world for quite some time, and demonstrated the viability and potential of green hydrogen production in a refinery at an industrial scale. The event was a great opportunity to show prospective customers our electrolysers operating in an active refinery setting.    The achievements of the project, which saw much of the work take place during the global pandemic, highlight the dedication of all partners involved (Shell, SINTEF, Sphera and ERM), and ITM’s ability to deliver electrolyser projects even during the most testing of circumstances. Furthermore, the data gathered from REFHYNE proves ITM’s market-leading stack performance and operational flexibility.   REFHYNE has been a true lighthouse project that has made a substantial contribution to the industry and has already led to significant improvements in both the construction and operation of new electrolysers, paving the way for other such projects in the sector. The electrolysers will continue to provide Shell’s refinery with green hydrogen long into the future.   The demonstration project has been supported with €10 million from the Clean Hydrogen Partnership (formerly Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking, FCH JU) a public-private partnership supporting fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies in Europe.   #hydrogen #greentech #refinery #energy

The Clean Refinery Hydrogen for Europe (REFHYNE) project successfully concludes with a final event in Germany, celebrating the development and operation of a 10MW PEM electrolyser. 🎉 Stakeholders from across the hydrogen and energy sector came together to celebrate the project's success and hear from the consortium the key learnings and results coming out of the project. Guests were also invited to visit the site of the electrolyser and tour the area. #REFHYNE has brought together five leading organisations across Europe (SINTEF Shell, ITM Power, ERM (formerly Element Energy) and Sphera) to successfully meet its key aim of developing and operating a 10MW PEM electrolyser in a real-world industrial setting. #REFHYNE has been a flagship project for the industrial decarbonisation sector, testing and validating the business model for the use of green electrolytic hydrogen in a refinery setting.   This project has already led to significant improvements in both the construction and operations of new multi-MW size electrolysers, and will continue to pave the way for other such projects in the sector.   This nearly €20 million demonstration project is supported with €10 million from the Clean Hydrogen Partnership (formerly FCH JU), a public-private partnership supporting fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies in #Europe.   To read the full press release, please follow this link 👉 https://lnkd.in/eaVHvvHu

Earlier this week, Shell hosted the partners of the #REFHYNE consortium at the site of the electrolyser in Wesseling, Germany, to discuss the progress made on the project and make plans for the coming months. Project partners SINTEF, ERM and ITM Power joined Shell at the #REFHYNE site and were able to see the PEM electrolyser live in action and producing hydrogen! #electrolysis #cleanhydrogen #netzero Clean Hydrogen Partnership

#REFHYNE now has over 150 followers! A big thank you to all following along the #REFHYNE journey and taking an interest in supporting clean hydrogen production across Europe. #cleanhydrogen #netzero #greenhydrogen #electrolysis

Getting boots on the ground is one of the best ways to get to know a business, from how it works to who the people making it all happen are.   Shell’s new Vice-President, Hydrogen, Andy Beard has been doing just that with help from Paul Bogers who handed the baton to Andy on 1 August.   Last week, the two visited Refhyne I in Germany to meet the team there and take a tour of the PEM electrolyser.
