Project Anker: A Major Green Hydrogen Initiative in Northern Germany
Key Ideas
- An 800 MW green hydrogen project, Project Anker, initiated in Sande, Northern Germany by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Friesen Elektra Green Energy.
- The project aims to produce 80,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, benefiting key German industries and reducing CO2 emissions by up to 2.4 million tons.
- Powered by renewable energy sources like wind and solar, Project Anker will create new jobs, economic growth, and actively engage the local community.
- CIP's commitment to green hydrogen includes other projects like the HØST PtX Esbjerg, expected to produce up to 140,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for various industries.
Denmark’s Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and German Friesen Elektra Green Energy have launched Project Anker, a green hydrogen production facility in Sande, Northern 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. Situated near Wilhelmshaven, the facility will benefit German industries like steel and chemicals while reducing CO2 emissions by 2.4 million tons yearly. By leveraging renewable energy from wind and solar sources, the initiative will create new jobs, foster economic growth, and promote community involvement in Lower Saxony. CIP's focus on green hydrogen is further demonstrated by their HØST PtX Esbjerg project, set to produce 140,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for industries like chemicals, steel, and refinery in Germany.
