In Belgium, Virya Energy, in partnership with HyoffGreen and Messer, have reached the final investment decision for the Hyoffwind project in Zeebrugge, Belgium. The company noted that this was the final validation before launching the construction of the first 25MW renewable hydrogen production plant in the country, with the first molecules expected to be produced in 2026. It will contribute with 25.000 tons of CO2 reduction per year in the segments of mobility and industry, it added. The plant, upon completion, will feature an initial capacity of 25MW, with potential for future expansion up to 100 MW, Virya Energy added. Paul Tummers, CEO of Virya Energy said: “Hyoffwind exemplifies our belief in hydrogen’s transformative power and its role in our fit-for-purpose energy approach. It is a demonstration of our ability to develop complex projects at the forefront of the energy transition. The project, driven by strong complementary partnerships, marks a significant step towards a more resilient sustainable energy future for Belgium and creates a promising outlook for the hydrogen industry.”
