In Hamburg, the decommissioned Moorburg coal-fired power plant is set to undergo a remarkable transformation into the 'Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub' (HGHH). A consortium comprising Hamburger Energiewerke (HEnW) and Luxcara is leading this initiative, with plans to commence the construction of a 100 MW electrolyser in 2025. The goal is to ultimately scale up the electrolysis capacity to 800 MW, supported by substantial German government funding, including Hamburg's contribution of EUR 46.2 million. Jens Kerstan, Senator for the Environment, highlighted the strategic importance of Moorburg's location and existing infrastructure for developing a hydrogen economy. The project is pivotal in Hamburg's hydrogen strategy, emphasizing a mix of imported and locally produced hydrogen to drive industrial decarbonization. This endeavor not only signifies a shift towards sustainable energy practices but also demonstrates the potential of repurposing coal assets to spearhead green energy initiatives and foster economic development.
