Hyoffwind

HyOffwind represents a milestone in Belgium’s renewable hydrogen development – a 25MW green hydrogen production facility in the strategic port of Zeebrugge. This pioneering project, developed by Virya Energy in partnership with HyoffGreen and Messer, will produce its first molecules in 2026, contributing to a yearly CO2 reduction of 25,000 tons across mobility and industrial applications.

Located at a crucial intersection of energy networks, the facility is designed with an initial capacity of 25MW and the potential to expand to 100MW. The project exemplifies sector coupling by connecting renewable energy production with industrial processes and mobility solutions, while enhancing the flexibility and stability of Belgium’s energy system. As part of the emerging European hydrogen backbone, HyOffwind will play a vital role in connecting production sites and industrial zones across North-West Europe, supported by €30 million in government subsidies through NextGenerationEU funding.
