据烃加工2021年7月2日报道，经过两年的建设，荷兰皇家壳牌公司在其德国莱茵兰炼油厂的韦瑟灵分厂启动了欧洲最大的10兆瓦氢电解厂Rehyne，Rehyne的投产将进一步扩展壳牌公司的替代能源。
10兆瓦氢电解厂将在一个由欧盟资助的财团内生产绿色燃料，该财团已经着眼于科隆附近的一个100兆瓦设施，以扩大其商业运营规模。
从风能或太阳能的可再生能源中通过电解产生的氢被认为是“绿氢”，而从化石燃料中产生的“灰氢”是当今许多标准工业流程的原料。
按质量计算，氢的能量含量很高，但电解产生的转换损失和准备交付所需的高昂成本构成了挑战。
根据欧盟绿色协议(EU Green Deal)的气候目标，绿色质量的氢预计将在能源领域发挥作用，还将在交通、供热和钢铁、水泥等难以脱碳的行业发挥作用。
壳牌公司还计划在韦瑟灵利用可再生电力和生物质生产可持续航空燃料，并开发一个液化可再生天然气(生物液化天然气)工厂。
壳牌公司希望成为工业领域绿色氢的领先供应商

Shell opens 10 MW hydrogen electrolyser at German refinery
Royal Dutch Shell launched Europe's biggest hydrogen electrolysis plant of 10 megawatts (MW) called Refhyne at the Wesseling site of its Rheinland refinery after two years of construction, expanding further into alternative energies.
The plant will produce green fuels within a European Union-funded consortium which is already setting sights align="justify"> Hydrogen is considered "green" when it is produced from renewable power from wind or solar through electrolysis whereas "grey" hydrogen from fossil fuels is a feedstock in many standard industry processes today. read more
Hydrogen has a high energy content by mass, but conversion losses from electrolysis and high costs involved in readying it for delivery pose challenges.
Under the EU Green Deal's climate targets, green quality hydrogen is expected to play a role in energy, but also in mobility, heat provision, and hard-to-decarbonise industries such as steel or cement.
Shell also aims to produce sustainable aviation fuel from renewable electricity and biomass at Wesseling as well as developing a plant for liquefied renewable natural gas (bio-LNG).
"Shell wants to become a leading supplier of green hydrogen for ind
