Friedrich Vorwerk Group SE to Construct 10 MW Electrolyzer for Green Hydrogen Production in Emden
Key Ideas
- Friedrich Vorwerk Group SE secures a contract with Statkraft to build a 10 MW electrolyzer in Emden, Lower Saxony for green hydrogen production.
- The project, operational by 2027, will generate 200 kg of green hydrogen per hour to support local hydrogen filling stations for the transport sector.
- The initiative is part of Germany's broader hydrogen network development, contributing to the nation's hydrogen transport infrastructure enhancement.
- With expertise in large-scale plant construction, Friedrich Vorwerk is poised to meet future hydrogen demand surges and contribute to hydrogen scalability.
Friedrich Vorwerk Group SE has entered into a contract with Statkraft, a Norwegian energy company, to construct a 10 MW electrolyzer in Emden, Lower Saxony, Germany. The electrolyzer, leveraging proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology, is set to be operational by 2027, producing around 200 kg of green hydrogen per hour. This output will be crucial in supporting the regional transport sector through the establishment of local hydrogen filling stations. The project is a significant component of Germany's efforts to develop a comprehensive hydrogen network, focusing on improving the nation's hydrogen transport infrastructure. With an approved hydrogen core network spanning over 9,000 km, this initiative marks a pivotal milestone in the journey towards hydrogen scalability. Friedrich Vorwerk's expertise in pipeline and large-scale plant construction uniquely positions the company to meet the anticipated surge in future hydrogen demand, contributing to the growth and sustainability of the hydrogen economy.
