Chemelot Faces Infrastructure Challenges for Hydrogen Strategy by 2033
Chemelot plans to increase its electrolysis capacity to 1-1.5 GW by 2035 but faces delays in national network connections. The dependency on Hynetwork's infrastructure by 2033 raises concerns for meeting sustainability targets.

Chemelot projects a need for 600 MW of electrolysis capacity by 2030, escalating to 1-1.5 GW by 2035. The connection to Hynetwork's national hydrogen network is expected in 2033, which Chemelot views as insufficient for its sustainability initiatives.
While local hydrogen production is underway, future project expansion hinges on this national infrastructure. Geopolitical uncertainties and industry hesitance are obstructing investments in renewable hydrogen. The development of Hynetwork's infrastructure is crucial for mitigating risks in hydrogen production, with blue hydrogen serving as an interim measure to support Chemelot's sustainability goals.
