Project Anker: Green Hydrogen Production Facility to Boost German Industries and Economy
Key Ideas
  • Project Anker in Sande, Germany, initiated by CIP and Friesen Elektra, aims to have a green hydrogen production facility with an electrolysis capacity of 400 MW, expandable to 800 MW.
  • The project will produce 80,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, benefitting key German industries like steel and chemicals, as well as the transport sector, while reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 2.4 million tons annually.
  • Located strategically near Wilhelmshaven and the future German hydrogen core network, Project Anker will create new jobs, foster growth, and engage the local community, contributing to the regional economy in Lower Saxony.
  • CIP's Energy Transition Fund I, the largest greenfield green hydrogen fund globally, is driving the project with a focus on decarbonizing energy-intensive industries and advancing the energy transition in Germany.
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Friesen Elektra have launched Project Anker, a green hydrogen production facility in Sande, Germany. The project, with an initial electrolysis capacity of 400 MW expandable to 800 MW, aims to produce 80,000 tons of green hydrogen annually. Strategically located near Wilhelmshaven and the future German hydrogen core network, Anker will benefit industries like steel, chemicals, and transportation, while reducing CO₂ emissions by 2.4 million tons annually. This initiative will also create jobs, spur growth, and involve the local community, boosting the economy of Lower Saxony. CIP's Energy Transition Fund I is leading the project, focusing on decarbonizing industries and supporting the green energy transition in Germany.
