Siemens Energy Wins Contract for 280MW Electrolysis System in Emden, Germany
Key Ideas
  • Siemens Energy secured a contract to supply a 280MW electrolysis system to EWE in Emden, Germany, for the 'Clean Hydrogen Coastline' project.
  • The electrolysis plant will produce 26,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for various industrial uses, supported by a ten-year service agreement.
  • The project, classified as an Important Project of Common European Interest, aims to boost the green hydrogen industry in Germany with government funding.
  • Siemens Energy's PEM technology electrolyser, with flexible ramp-up times, will be used at the plant with stacks produced at their gigawatt factory in Berlin.
Siemens Energy has been granted a contract to deliver a 280MW electrolysis system to German utility EWE for installation in Emden, Germany, as part of the 'Clean Hydrogen Coastline' initiative. This project, categorized as an Important Project of Common European Interest, aims to enhance the green hydrogen industry in Germany by producing 26,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for industrial applications. The electrolysis plant will be the central component of EWE's hydrogen production facility in Emden, with a significant power consumption of 320MW over its lifetime. Siemens Energy will not only supply the electrolyser but also provide a decade-long service contract. The German government and the European Commission view this project as strategically important, leading to funding support. The utilization of Siemens Energy's PEM technology in the electrolyser, known for its efficient water splitting ability with renewable energy sources, will be crucial for the success of the venture. The stacks, integral to the electrolysers, will be manufactured at Siemens Energy's new gigawatt factory in Berlin, emphasizing local production. This cooperation between EWE and Siemens Energy signifies a step forward in regional and national value creation, positively impacting the green hydrogen industry in Germany.
