Wood, a global leader in consulting and engineering, has been awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) scope for the Zeevonk hydrogen facility in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The hydrogen plant will be powered by offshore wind and floating offshore solar from the Zeevonk offshore developments.
The Zeevonk project is a joint venture between Vattenfall, a leading European energy company, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), the world’s largest dedicated fund manager within greenfield renewable energy investments, through its Energy Transition Fund (CI ETF I). This ambitious initiative will advance Vattenfall’s net-zero emissions goals and play a significant role in moving Europe toward its target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

The facility will be designed to reach significant peak consumption, and once complete, the produced hydrogen will be transported via pipeline to the Hydrogen Network Rotterdam, the first phase of the new Dutch hydrogen infrastructure centered in the Port of Rotterdam, one of Europe’s most significant energy ports.
Gerry Traynor, President of Projects Eastern Hemisphere at Wood, said:“We are thrilled to deliver this next phase of the state-of-the-art energy system at Zeevonk, applying our extensive expertise in large-scale green hydrogen projects, which are crucial to the world’s energy transition.
“Wood is delivering a design that maximizes value engineering and applies our operability knowledge, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective solution. Our role in delivering this project underpins Wood’s commitment to delivering low-carbon solutions for clients and driving forward the accessibility and scalability of low-emission energy sources around the globe.”
Claus Vissing-Jørgensen, Project Director at Zeevonk, said:“We are excited to collaborate with Wood to bring our hydrogen vision to life in the Netherlands. The awarding of our FEED represents a significant milestone for our large-scale hydrogen plant planned in the Maasvlakte area. Over the next 10 months, the FEED will provide detailed cost estimates and lay the groundwork for our upcoming EPC tender process, expected in Q2 this year.”
This marks Wood’s third transformative project with CIP. Wood was selected as owner’s engineer for their Coalburn Storage project in Scotland, which is set to be Europe’s largest battery storage unit. Additionally, Wood is the engineering services provider for CIP’s green hydrogen Catalina project in Spain.
