German utility Uniper is strategically focusing on boosting the development of Wilhelmshaven port into a key hydrogen hub, supported by winning EU approval for clean energy projects. Uniper aims to make progress in talks with major customers like Salzgitter and accelerate the establishment of hydrogen storage facilities at the port as part of its decarbonization strategy. The company plans to convert its natural gas operations to hydrogen to align with climate goals, especially emphasizing the supply of green hydrogen to industries like steelmaking for emissions reduction. This involves a collaboration with Salzgitter to provide significant amounts of green hydrogen annually, sourced from Uniper's electrolysis plant. Uniper's long-term vision includes repurposing gas storage caverns and constructing new facilities to offer 600 GWh of hydrogen storage capacity by 2030. The strategy also involves the construction of a 1 GW electrolysis plant to produce hydrogen from local renewable power sources. The partnership between Uniper and Salzgitter aims to establish a pipeline for efficient hydrogen delivery to support the steel industry's transition to greener practices.
