Moorburg's Transformation: Green Hydrogen Hub Development in Hamburg
Key Ideas
  • Construction of a 100-megawatt hydrogen electrolyzer plant to start in Moorburg in 2025, with plans to supply green hydrogen to large-industry customers by 2027.
  • A 40-kilometer hydrogen network south of the Elbe and expansion to 800 megawatts capacity are part of the transformation of Moorburg into a Green Energy Hub.
  • Hamburg's port highlighted as a future energy source, aiming to transition energy-intensive industries to sustainable processes with hydrogen playing a crucial role.
  • Partnership between Hamburg Energy Works, Luxcara, and HH-WIN to establish Hamburg as a leading hydrogen center, focusing on environmental protection and job creation.
The former Moorburg coal power plant site in Hamburg is set to undergo a significant transformation into a Green Energy Hub, with the construction of a 100-megawatt hydrogen electrolyzer plant scheduled to commence in 2025. This initiative is part of the city's plan to shift towards green hydrogen production and decarbonization. The electrolysis plant aims to supply green hydrogen to large-industry customers by 2027, supported by the development of a 40-kilometer hydrogen network and potential expansion to 800 megawatts capacity. Alongside hydrogen production, Moorburg will serve as a distribution and logistics center, strengthening Hamburg's position as an industrial hub transitioning towards sustainability. The project is led by a consortium involving Hamburg Energy Works and Luxcara, with a focus on self-producing green hydrogen and advancing environmental protection. Hamburg's Economics Senator emphasized the importance of a stable energy supply for energy-intensive industries and the role of hydrogen in this transition. The project also aims to attract new players, create job opportunities, and establish Hamburg as a leading hydrogen center in partnership with HH-WIN, paving the way for a green hydrogen economy. With its strategic location and infrastructure, Moorburg presents a prime opportunity for the development of sustainable processes and green energy production.
