German chemicals firm Evonik has signed a term sheet with hydrogen specialist VoltH2 to build a 50MW electrolyser at the Delfzijl chemical park in the Netherlands.

The electrolyser will supply Evonik’s hydrogen peroxide plant, once operational in 2027. Until then, Evonik will continue to use onsite fossil-based hydrogen for hydrogen peroxide production.
