H2Next is a planned 250 MW electrolyzer located in the heart of Rotterdam’s industrial cluster. It will support the decarbonization of refineries, the chemical industry, and mobility.

A Green Hydrogen Hub

H2Next will de developed by HyCC at the Port of Rotterdam. As Europe’s largest port and the Netherlands’ biggest industrial cluster, the Port of Rotterdam plays a leading role in the energy transition and is transforming into a future hydrogen hub. 

H2Next will be strategically located a the first conversion park in the Port, near the landfall points of several offshore wind farms. 

Powering Sustainable Industry

H2Next will use renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen—producing no CO₂ or other harmful emissions. With a design capacity of 250 megawatts, the plant will produce approximately 25,000 tons of green hydrogen per year. 

This renewable hydrogen can replace fossil-based (‘grey’) hydrogen in refineries, directly reducing CO₂ emissions. Other applications are the production of sustainable fuels for aviation and shipping, and for enabling circular chemical processes in Rotterdam. 

Thanks to the planned national hydrogen network and the Delta Rhine Corridor, H2Next will also be able to supply green hydrogen to other industrial clusters across Northwest Europe.

Project Timeline

HyCC is currently finalizing the project’s study phase, with the aim of starting green hydrogen production around 2030.
