Siemens Energy and Northern German utility EWE have announced a partnership to build a 280MW green hydrogen electrolysis system in Emden, Germany, slated to commence operations in 2027. This initiative comes as part of a series of projects fueled by the 4.6 billion euros in EU-approved subsidies allocated by Germany to promote the supply of secure and sustainable hydrogen for achieving net-zero carbon emissions. The Emden plant aims to produce 26,000 metric tons of green hydrogen annually, potentially offsetting 800,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year if integrated into processes like steelmaking. By leveraging renewable electricity for electrolysis, hydrogen is positioned as a crucial element in transitioning to a lower carbon economy. The project at Emden, backed by national and state-level IPCEI funds, signifies a significant leap towards Germany's green hydrogen capacity goals outlined in the national industry strategy for 2030. Siemens Energy will play a key role in the construction of the plant, reflecting the company's commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions. EWE's selection of Siemens Energy after a rigorous 12-month process highlights the strategic partnership formed to bolster the green hydrogen industry in Germany. As the project unfolds, it is expected to contribute substantially to the country's efforts in decarbonization and renewable energy adoption.
