National government, including energy and climate policy, subsidy schemes and regulation.

Industrial-scale electrolyzer systems that use electricity from renewables (mainly offshore wind) to split water molecules and produce hydrogen.

Technology that generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, with water as the only byproduct.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with renewable energy providers ensure green power supply to the electrolyzer; in this case, from TotalEnergies’ share of the OranjeWind windfarm and Vattenfall’s Hollandse Kust Zuid wind farm.
