“Siemens is committed to decoupling electrification from fossil fuel resources.
Partnerships are key to driving this effort and transitioning towards
sustainable energy supplies,” said Stephan May, CEO of Electrification and
Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “The partnership with Shell fits
perfectly with Siemens’ vision of electrifying the world, while helping
industry and infrastructure customers reduce their carbon footprint and achieve
their sustainability goals.”
Siemens has been an electrical equipment – switchgears, pumps,
transformers, electrical Scada - supplier to Shell for more than a decade. Over
the past years, it has evolved into a collaborative solutions supplier,
spanning the full range of its electrification and automation portfolio and
further enhanced by Joint Industry Programme 33 (JIP33) equipment
standardization, a set of standardized industry procurement specifications for
the oil and gas industry. Shell attaches great importance to the relationship
with Siemens, which is paving the way to accelerating the energy transition.
“Deep
collaboration with partners is essential for the delivery of low-carbon energy
solutions for the future. Building on our existing relation with Siemens, I
expect this MoU to enable our teams to work even closer together,” said Graham
Henley, Senior Vice President Engineering & Project Capability at Shell.
“Siemens’ broad range of expertise in electrification and automation, together
with Shell’s engineering and project delivery capability and ambition in the
energy transition will prove to be a powerful combination.”
The MoU stems
from this relationship and from working together on several projects since 2010.
One of the key milestones advancing green hydrogen is the recently announced construction
of Shell’s Holland Hydrogen 1 (HH1) project on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam.
With a capacity of 200 megawatts and 60 tons of hydrogen per day, HH1 is planned
to be one of the largest green hydrogen production plants in the world and the biggest
in Europe. Siemens’ Electrification and Automation business plays an important
role in the project’s planning, construction, and execution, as the power
distribution and substation automation supplier. It will also be involved in the
operation of the plant, which is scheduled to go on-line in 2025, through a servicing
contract. The plant will produce hydrogen using electricity generated by wind turbines
in the North Sea.
Siemens and Shell have adopted a collaborative and agile way of working on
this large project. Close consultation and decision-making on a daily basis have
helped reduce development time – of the design of the power distribution system
- by close to half, from 18 months to 9 months, as of the publication of this
release.
