FRIEDRICH VORWERK Secures Contract to Build 10 MW Green Hydrogen Plant in Emden
Key Ideas
- FRIEDRICH VORWERK Group SE has won a contract to construct a 10 MW electrolysis plant in Emden, Germany for Statkraft, focusing on green hydrogen production.
- The project will utilize the proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis process and aims to start operations in 2027 to produce 200 kg of green hydrogen per hour.
- Statkraft plans to integrate the electrolyzer into the existing power plant infrastructure, supporting the regional transport sector by supplying green hydrogen to filling stations.
- This project is part of Germany's initiative to establish a national hydrogen transport infrastructure, facilitating the connection of production sites to consumers and driving the adoption of hydrogen in the country.
Friedrich Vorwerk Group SE, known for its expertise in energy infrastructure, has been awarded a contract by Statkraft to build a 10 MW electrolysis plant in Emden, Lower Saxony, Germany. This plant will focus on producing green hydrogen using the proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis process. The project, which is expected to commence operations in 2027, aims to produce around 200 kg of green hydrogen per hour based on renewable energy sources. The hydrogen will be supplied to the regional transport sector through hydrogen filling stations. The initiative in Emden is part of a broader effort in Germany to establish a hydrogen core network spanning over 9,000 km, connecting production sites to consumers. Friedrich Vorwerk Group SE anticipates a significant rise in hydrogen demand due to its extensive experience in large-scale plant construction and pipeline expertise.
