Large-Scale Electrolysis in the Netherlands: Ambition vs. Reality

Why watch it?

Why are the Netherlands' large-scale electrolysis plans running behind? In this TU Delft PowerWeb lunch lecture, Marjolijn Goorden of the energy company Eneco reviews where Dutch projects stand; according to the session description, the 3–4 GW electrolyzer target announced for 2030 now looks uncertain. She works through project status, the effect of RED III and national subsidies, the choice between PEM and alkaline technology, supply chains and scarce materials, and whether equipment should be made domestically or imported. A discussion on seasonal storage, capacity factors, flexibility and the limits of biomass closes the session. Investors, industrial planners and energy policy researchers will find it useful. The 2026 recording is current, though the assessment may reflect the speaker's corporate perspective.
