EH2 Partners with Uniper for Green Hydrogen Plant in Wilhelmshaven, Germany
Key Ideas
- EH2 will design a 200MW electrolyser plant at Uniper's Wilhelmshaven project in Northern Germany for green hydrogen production, forming part of a 1GW green hydrogen production plan alongside a green ammonia terminal.
- The project has been selected as a Project of Common Interest by the EU, with plans to connect to Germany's hydrogen core network and underground storage sites to meet a significant portion of the nation's green hydrogen demand.
- EH2 aims to reduce hydrogen production costs and EPC work with their fully integrated PEM electrolyser unit, emphasizing their commitment to the energy transition and making zero-carbon green hydrogen economically viable.
- CEO of EH2, Raffi Garabedian, highlights Europe's role as the primary driver of green hydrogen demand globally, contrasting the US as a less attractive market despite production incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act.
Electric Hydrogen (EH2) has been chosen as the exclusive electrolysis partner to design a 200MW electrolyser plant at Uniper's Wilhelmshaven project in Northern Germany. This electrolyser plant is part of a larger green energy initiative that includes a 1GW green hydrogen production plan and a 2.6 million tonne per year green ammonia terminal. Both the electrolyser plant and ammonia terminal have been recognized as Projects of Common Interest by the EU. EH2 aims to play a crucial role in reducing hydrogen production costs and EPC work through their advanced PEM electrolyser technology. The project at Wilhelmshaven is set to be connected to Germany's hydrogen core network and underground storage sites, with the potential to meet a significant portion of the country's green hydrogen demand.
EH2's CEO, Raffi Garabedian, expressed excitement about the partnership with Uniper and the opportunity to contribute to shaping the energy transition. The company is focused on commercializing its 100MW electrolyser plant and sees Europe, particularly due to initiatives like the Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II), as the primary driver of global green hydrogen demand. Garabedian also highlighted the challenges in the US market for green hydrogen production despite incentives provided by the Inflation Reduction Act. The collaboration between EH2 and Uniper represents a significant step towards achieving sustainable and economically viable green hydrogen production in Germany and Europe.
