Hydrogen prospects for the East Groningen Industry Cluster

The East Groningen Industrial Cluster (IndustrieCluster Oost-Groningen) is facing the challenge of becoming greener, with the urgent need to switch from natural gas to hydrogen before 2030. A preliminary study by New Energy Coalition reveals how hydrogen production from Eemshaven not only contributes to lower CO2 emissions, but also offers a new economic perspective for the region and could develop into Europe's first regional hydrogen cluster.

IndustrieCluster Oost-Groningen

IndustrieCluster Oost-Groningen is a partnership of diverse companies, all working to reduce their CO2 emissions as part of their contribution to the energy transition. As a group, they currently use over 215 million cubic meters of natural gas annually, that is becoming increasingly expensive due to rapidly rising CO3 tariffs.
