Uniper Partners with Electric Hydrogen for Green Wilhelmshaven: Revolutionizing Hydrogen Production in Germany
Key Ideas
  • Uniper chooses Electric Hydrogen for a 200 MW electrolyzer plant in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, to produce green hydrogen for industrial use.
  • The project includes large-scale electrolysis and an ammonia import terminal, aiming to meet Germany's green hydrogen demand.
  • Electric Hydrogen's PEM technology and integrated plant design will help minimize hydrogen production costs and enable decarbonization in industries.
  • Uniper and Electric Hydrogen are driven by a shared vision to lead in low-carbon energy and shape a greener future for European energy supply.
Uniper has partnered with Electric Hydrogen to develop a 200 megawatt electrolyzer plant in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, as part of the Green Wilhelmshaven project. This initiative involves large-scale electrolysis to produce green hydrogen and an ammonia import terminal to meet the country's increasing demand for sustainable energy sources. The project aligns with Germany's focus on decarbonizing industries like chemicals, steel, marine, and air transport. The selection of Electric Hydrogen was influenced by its advanced PEM technology and cost-effective plant design, aiming to reduce hydrogen production expenses. By utilizing renewable electricity from wind farms, the project will contribute to the country's energy transition and support the development of a hydrogen backbone and storage facilities. Uniper and Electric Hydrogen share a commitment to driving the decarbonization of German and European industries, with a focus on affordability and sustainability. Susanne Thöle from Uniper emphasized the importance of this project in shaping the energy transition, while Raffi Garabedian from Electric Hydrogen highlighted their goal of making green hydrogen an economically viable alternative to fossil fuels. The collaboration between Uniper and Electric Hydrogen marks a significant step towards a low-carbon future and positions Wilhelmshaven as a key hub for green hydrogen production in Germany.
