REFHYNE II Clean Refinery Hydrogen for Europe II

Coordinator: SINTEF AS (NO)

REFHYNE II will install a 100MW PEM electrolyser at Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland in Cologne, Germany, using renewable power to produce green hydrogen and oxygen, which will be fed-in to the existing refinery networks to decarbonise refinery operations. The electrolyser will be based on state of the art 2MW PEM stack assemblies integrated into pre-engineered 10MW electrolyser core units, with factory assembled balance of plant to reduce the amount of bespoke work required to integrate electrolysers into new sites. The project will be delivered by the same team responsible for the …

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €32.4M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 7.4 years from 2021-10-01 to 2029-02-28.
