Hydrogen Reciprocating Compressor units
Gasunie is developing the HyStock project, a large-scale hydrogen storage facility near Zuidwending, as the first of its kind in Northwest Europe. The tender focuses on the delivery of recirculating compressor units required to store hydrogen in an underground cavern. It concerns a competitive procedure with negotiation, focusing on a reliable, safe, and hydrogen-compatible compressor with high pressure capacity. The units must comply with international hydrogen standards, meet safety and environmental requirements, and be capable of being integrated into the existing infrastructure. Additionally, installation, commissioning, maintenance, spare parts, training, and full documentation are required. The goal is a sustainable, cost-efficient solution that ensures the operational reliability of Europe's first major hydrogen storage project.
