Shell awards renewable hydrogen facility contract to Worley

Shell has awarded Worley a professional services contract. Under the contract, Worley will provide detailed engineering, procurement and construction management support services, including the integration of related assets such as offshore wind, pipelines, grids and refineries. These services will support the delivery of the Dutch hydrogen plant in the Port of Rotterdam, which will be Europe's largest commercial renewable hydrogen production facility upon completion.

Once operational, the Holland Hydrogen plant is expected to produce approximately 60,000 kilograms of renewable hydrogen per day. Renewable hydrogen will replace gray hydrogen used in fuel production at the Shell Energy and Chemicals campus in Rotterdam. The production and use of renewable hydrogen will contribute to the partial decarbonization of the facility's fuel and provide renewable hydrogen for the heavy transport sector.

Worley's services will be delivered from its offices in the Netherlands and supported by its Global Integrated Delivery (GID) team in India, while also leveraging their global hydrogen subject matter expertise. The contract follows Worley's successful completion of early engineering services at the facility. The contract is classified as sustainable work based on Worley's definition of sustainability-related work.

Chris Ashton, chief executive of Worley, said: "We are delighted to continue working with Shell to support its journey to net zero emissions by 2050, in line with our ambition to create a more sustainable world."
