RWE, the energy group, has secured substantial funding amounting to 619 million euros from the German federal government and participating states for two significant hydrogen projects. One of these projects, the GET H2 Nukleus project, will see the construction of a 300-megawatt electrolyser in Lingen, Lower Saxony, to produce green hydrogen. Additionally, funding will support the development of a hydrogen storage facility in Gronau-Epe, North Rhine-Westphalia. Another grant of 199 million euros is designated for a consortium, including RWE, focused on building a 100-megawatt electrolysis plant in Rostock, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania under the HyTechHafen Rostock project.
