RWE Partners with Sunfire and Bilfinger for 300 MW Green Hydrogen Project in Lingen
Key Ideas
  • RWE has commissioned Sunfire and Bilfinger to build the third phase of its 300 MW green hydrogen project at the gas-fired power plant in Lingen, Germany.
  • Sunfire will provide a 100 MW alkaline electrolyzer, while Bilfinger will be responsible for the integration and installation of electrolysis-related systems.
  • The project is part of RWE's GET H2 Nukleus initiative, aiming to supply green hydrogen to industrial consumers in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia regions.
  • The company plans to scale up its electrolyzer capacity to 300 MW by 2027, with the first 100 MW set to be commissioned in 2025, signaling the growth of green hydrogen production.
German utility RWE has partnered with Sunfire and Bilfinger to advance its 300 MW green hydrogen project in Lingen, Germany. The company has not disclosed the exact contract amount but mentioned it to be in the low hundred-million-euro range. Sunfire will deliver a 100 MW alkaline electrolyzer, while Bilfinger will oversee the integration of electrolysis, including planning and installation of ancillary systems. RWE's project, part of the GET H2 Nukleus initiative, involves collaboration with Nowega and OGE to connect green hydrogen production to industrial consumers in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. The company has already ordered 100 MW electrolyzers from Linde Engineering and ITM Power for the initial phases and aims to expand capacity to 300 MW by 2027. The progress is on track, with the first 200 MW under construction and the next phase set for commissioning in 2027. Dr. Sopna Sury from RWE highlighted the project's importance in encouraging companies to transition to green hydrogen, while Nils Aldag of Sunfire emphasized their experience in large-scale electrolyzer projects. Thomas Schulz of Bilfinger emphasized the significance of the additional electrolysis plant in Lingen for the energy system transformation.
