Renewable hydrogen via electrolysis
Renewable hydrogen in this scheme refers to hydrogen produced by electrolysers that split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity generated from renewable sources, qualifying as a renewable fuel of non‑biological origin (RFNBO) under EU rules.[1] It is intended to replace fossil‑based hydrogen and natural gas in industrial processes and transport, reducing greenhouse gas emissions when the electricity input is low‑carbon.
1 mention
Oxygen Capture and Purification
The facility captures and purifies oxygen as a by-product of electrolysis, supplying high-purity oxygen to nearby chemical processes and reducing the need for dedicated air separation units.

Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Electrolysis
Industrial-scale PEM electrolysis technology used in the Refhyne plant to produce hydrogen from water using electricity. This is described as the world's first industrial-scale application of this technology.
