Siemens Energy Wins Contract for 280 MW Electrolyzer in Emden, Germany
Key Ideas
  • Siemens Energy secures a contract to supply a 280 MW electrolyzer to EWE for the Clean Hydrogen Coastline project in Emden, Germany.
  • The electrolyzer based on PEM technology will generate up to 26,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, reducing CO2 emissions by ~800,000 tonnes per year.
  • Germany and the European Commission support the project as a strategic funding measure, with Germany allocating €500 million in EU-approved subsidies.
  • Siemens Energy's gigawatt factory in Berlin will manufacture the electrolyzer's stacks, emphasizing the industry's commitment to ramping up green hydrogen production in Germany.
Siemens Energy has won a contract to supply a 280 MW electrolyzer to German utility company EWE as part of the Clean Hydrogen Coastline project in Emden, Germany. This initiative is set to boost the green hydrogen industry in the region significantly. The electrolyzer, utilizing PEM technology, is expected to be operational by 2027 and will produce 26,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, playing a vital role in decarbonizing various industrial applications. By utilizing green hydrogen instead of fossil fuels in the local steel industry, the project aims to eliminate around 800,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. The project has garnered support from both Germany and the European Commission, with Germany recently allocating €500 million in subsidies to the Clean Hydrogen Coastline. Siemens Energy's commitment to the project is evident through the rapid implementation of the contract with EWE and the production of the electrolyzer's stacks at their gigawatt factory in Berlin. The collaboration between Siemens Energy and EWE showcases a concerted effort towards regional and national value creation by focusing on green hydrogen production, transportation, and storage.
