Green Hydrogen Production Project Anker: Germany's Leap towards Carbon Neutrality
Key Ideas
  • Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Friesen Elektra are collaborating on a green hydrogen production facility project in Sande, Germany.
  • The project aims to produce 80,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, benefitting industries like steel, chemicals, and transport while reducing CO2 emissions by 2.4 million tons per year.
  • It is expected to create new jobs in Lower Saxony and play a crucial role in Germany's journey towards a carbon-neutral future, with plans to expand electrolysis capacity to 800 MW.
  • The project will be powered by renewable energy sources like offshore and onshore wind, as well as solar energy, aligning with the future German hydrogen core network.
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Friesen Elektra Green Energy AG have initiated a green hydrogen production project named Anker in Sande, Germany. The project, located near Wilhelmshaven and the future German hydrogen core network, aims to have an initial electrolysis capacity of 400 MW, expandable to 800 MW in the future. It is projected to produce 80,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, benefiting industries such as steel, chemicals, and transport. By replacing fossil fuels with green hydrogen, the project is anticipated to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 2.4 million tons annually, equivalent to the emissions of about 340,000 households. Felix Pahl, a partner at CIP, highlighted the potential of Project Anker in contributing to Germany's carbon-neutral goals. The initiative signals a commitment to sustainable investments in renewable infrastructure solutions. Moreover, the project is set to create job opportunities in Lower Saxony and foster community development in the region. With a focus on utilizing renewable energy sources like offshore and onshore wind, as well as solar energy, the project aligns with Germany's efforts towards building a greener future.
