Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Friesen Elektra have announced the initiation of Project Anker, a green hydrogen production facility in Sande, Germany. The project, backed by CIP's Energy Transition Fund I, will have an initial electrolysis capacity of 400 MW with plans to increase it to 800 MW in the future. Project Anker is strategically positioned near Wilhelmshaven and the German hydrogen core network, aiming to produce 80,000 tons of green hydrogen annually to support industries like steel, chemicals, and transportation. By substituting fossil fuels with green hydrogen, the project is projected to reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 2.4 million tons annually, equivalent to the emissions of around 340,000 households. Moreover, the facility will be powered by renewable energy sources, contributing to the regional economy by creating new jobs and promoting growth in Lower Saxony. The collaboration between CIP and Friesen Elektra highlights a commitment to advancing the energy transition and decarbonization efforts in Germany. With CI ETF I being the largest greenfield green hydrogen fund globally, the project underscores a significant step towards a carbon-neutral future through investments in sustainable energy solutions.
