📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
To Develop Reuze hub project a synthetic fuels production hub in Dunkirk, northern France.
Description:
Their Reuze hub project will integrate a 400-MW electrolyser, which Engie will install to produce green hydrogen, and Infinium’s technology that uses hydrogen and waste CO2 in the production of low-carbon e-fuels. The future e-fuels plant will take some 300,000 tonnes of CO2 captured from local steel production facilities owned by ArcelorMittal SA to use in the process. The goal of the project is to produce synthetic fuels for hard-to-decarbonise maritime and air transport sectors, and the chemicals industry, which is also being considered.
The Reuze hub will represent an investment of over EUR 500 million (USD 571m). In December 2021, France's environment and energy management agency Ademe selected the project to grant it financial support. The Dunkirk urban community, the Dunkirk Grand Port Maritime and the Hauts-de-France region also gave their blessing. The final investment decision on the Reuze development can be expected some time at the end of 2023. The Reuze project is scheduled to come into commercial operation in 2026, and will support ENGIE's ambitious strategy of deploying 4 GW of green hydrogen production capacity by 2030.
