Siemens Energy has been awarded a contract to provide a 280-megawatt electrolysis system for a green hydrogen production plant in Emden, Germany. The plant, set to be operational in 2027, will supply around 26,000 tons of green hydrogen annually for various industrial applications. By potentially replacing fossil fuels, the project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by about 800,000 tons per year in sectors like steel production. The initiative, part of EWE's 'Clean Hydrogen Coastline' project, has received strategic funding from the German government and the European Commission, recognizing its importance on a European level. The collaboration between EWE and Siemens Energy includes a comprehensive service agreement, ensuring the efficient operation of the electrolysis system. Siemens Energy's PEM technology, known for its flexibility with renewable energy sources, will be used in the electrolyzer, with the stacks produced at Siemens Energy's gigawatt factory in Berlin. The project signifies a crucial step in advancing the green hydrogen industry in Germany, positioning both companies as key players in promoting sustainable hydrogen production and utilization.
