Djewels is a project that aims to demonstrate the operational readiness of a 20 MW electrolyser for the production of green hydrogen in real-life industrial and commercial conditions. It will bring the technology from TRL 7 to TRL 8 and lay the foundations for a scale-up of European hydrogen production.

The project will be located in Delfzijl industrial park in the Netherlands where HyCC’s mother company Nobian already produces hydrogen through a chlor-alkali process. The Delfzijl industrial park has a direct connection to the electricity transmission grid and is home to several potential hydrogen offtakers.

 The Delfzijl Chemical Park will also  connected to other industry clusters via the national hydrogen network in the future  These could allow Djewels to be a stepping stone towards the creation of a new hydrogen valley, in line with the ambitions of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and the regional roadmap, within the industrial cluster of Delfzijl, the Northern Netherlands and beyond.

This project is a front-runner among several hydrogen initiatives aimed at cutting carbon emissions and will be a significant milestone in the transition to a more sustainable, circular economy.
