Siemens Energy to Supply 280MW Electrolysis System for Green Hydrogen Production in Emden
Key Ideas
- Siemens Energy secures a contract to provide a 280-megawatt electrolysis system in Emden, Germany, producing 26,000 tons of green hydrogen annually for industrial use.
- The project aims to reduce around 800,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year in the steel industry by replacing fossil fuels with green hydrogen.
- EWE's 'Clean Hydrogen Coastline' project, with Siemens Energy as a key partner, is part of Germany's green hydrogen industry ramp-up, supported by strategic funding.
- The electrolyzers, based on PEM technology, will be manufactured in Siemens Energy's gigawatt factory in Berlin, emphasizing the use of renewable energy sources.
Siemens Energy has been awarded a contract by German utility EWE to supply a 280-megawatt electrolysis system in the city of Emden, Germany. Expected to start operation in 2027, the plant will deliver 26,000 tons of green hydrogen annually for industrial applications, aiming to potentially save 800,000 tons of CO2 emissions yearly in the steel industry. This initiative is part of EWE's 'Clean Hydrogen Coastline' project, classified as a strategic funding measure by the German government and the European Commission. The electrolyzer, utilizing PEM technology, is a significant step in Germany's green hydrogen industry expansion. Siemens Energy and EWE have entered a ten-year service contract for the project, showcasing a commitment to sustainable energy solutions and regional/national value creation.
