RWE, a prominent European power producer, has announced a groundbreaking project in the Münster region of Germany. The company has awarded a consortium comprising Técnicas Reunidas and Ansaldo Energia the contract to construct an 800 MW hydrogen-ready combined cycle plant at the Gersteinwerk site. This plant, planned for commissioning in 2030, will initially utilize 50% hydrogen and eventually shift to solely hydrogen operation, aligning with the German government's goal to phase out coal-fired power plants by 2030. The construction of this plant is a key part of RWE's strategy to contribute to the energy transition in Germany. Additionally, the location of the Gersteinwerk plant close to a future hydrogen transport pipeline highlights the country's commitment to developing a hydrogen infrastructure. The approval planning services are already underway, with Técnicas Reunidas focusing on the design engineering and equipment supply, while Ansaldo Energia will provide essential turbines and generators. Gonzalo Pardo, Director of Energy Transition Business Development at Técnicas Reunidas, emphasized the importance of this project in advancing decarbonisation efforts and transitioning to new fuels like hydrogen. RWE's overall strategy includes significant investments in renewable energy projects globally, aiming to expand their green portfolio to over 65 gigawatts by 2030. The company's dedication to decarbonisation aligns with the goal of becoming net-zero by 2040. Técnicas Reunidas, a leading Spanish engineering firm, brings its extensive experience and expertise in industrial plant construction to this project. With a focus on clean fuels and technologies for decarbonisation, the company's new strategy, track, aims to accelerate its involvement in low carbon projects and drive engineering excellence in energy transition initiatives.
