Collaboration to Develop 50 MW Electrolyser for Green Hydrogen Production in Western Germany
Key Ideas
- Four German municipal utilities have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a 50 MW electrolyser in western Germany.
- The project, GreenLink Muensterland, aims to produce green hydrogen from regionally generated renewable electricity.
- The hydrogen will be fed into the hydrogen core network, with the project expected to be completed by 2028.
German municipal utilities Emergy, Gelsenwasser, Stadtwerke Muenster, and Trianel have come together to sign a memorandum of understanding for the development of a 50 MW electrolyser in the Coesfeld area of western Germany. This collaboration is part of the GreenLink Muensterland project, with the primary goal of advancing the hydrogen ramp-up in the region. The planned electrolyser will focus on producing green hydrogen using locally sourced renewable electricity. Once produced, the green hydrogen will be integrated into the hydrogen core network, contributing to the overall expansion of hydrogen infrastructure. Stadtwerke Muenster has announced that the partners will work on evaluating the feasibility of the project, with the anticipated completion set for 2028. This initiative highlights a significant step towards sustainable energy practices and showcases the commitment of these utilities to foster innovation in the hydrogen sector.
