BASF, in collaboration with Siemens Energy, has launched Germany's largest proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer at its Ludwigshafen site. This electrolyzer has a capacity to produce one metric ton of green hydrogen per hour, significantly reducing emissions by 72,000 tons annually. Supported by approximately $135.11 million in government funding, the project, named Hy4CHem, represents a milestone in advancing hydrogen economy goals and aiding decarbonization and industrial transformation. The green hydrogen generated will be used as a chemical feedstock within BASF's operations and for mobility solutions in the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region, promoting a sustainable hydrogen economy in the area. The collaboration with the State of Rhineland-Palatinate and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action underscores the importance of green hydrogen production in achieving climate targets. BASF's investment in this project reflects its commitment to offering environmentally friendly products to customers and driving innovation in the chemical industry. The inauguration of the electrolyzer marks a significant step towards a greener future and positions Ludwigshafen as a key player in sustainable business practices.
