Lhyfe Revolutionizes Railway Transport with Green Hydrogen in Germany
Key Ideas
  • Lhyfe completes the construction of a hydrogen production plant in Tübingen, Germany, aiming to supply hydrogen fuel to regional trains as part of the H2goesRail project.
  • The plant has a 1 MW electrolysis unit capable of producing up to 30 tons of hydrogen per year, with energy sourced from renewable sources provided by Deutsche Bahn.
  • Lhyfe's expansion plans include building a 10 MW plant in Gmünd, producing 4 tons of green hydrogen per day, with the goal of becoming a major hydrogen supplier in Germany and France by 2025.
  • The project signifies a significant step towards greening railway transport, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, noise levels, and improving the environmental situation in Europe.
Lhyfe, a French company known for its innovative clean hydrogen production, has completed the construction of a hydrogen production plant through electrolysis in Tübingen, Germany. This plant is a part of the H2goesRail project and is intended to supply hydrogen fuel to regional Mireo Plus H trains developed by Siemens Mobility. The project's goal is to replace diesel trains with hydrogen trains, marking a significant move towards greener railway transport. The plant in Tübingen boasts a 1 MW electrolysis unit that can produce up to 30 tons of hydrogen annually, utilizing renewable energy sources from Deutsche Bahn. Lhyfe's expansion efforts also include constructing a 10 MW plant in Gmünd, Germany, which is set to produce 4 tons of green hydrogen daily, with ambitions to become a major hydrogen supplier in both Germany and France by 2025. This initiative not only aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions but also enhance the quality of life by decreasing noise pollution and improving the overall environmental conditions. Lhyfe's strategic integration of green hydrogen into Europe's transport system signifies a progressive step towards sustainable development and eco-friendly transportation in the region. The company's activities extend beyond Germany, with operational and planned facilities across Europe. The transition to hydrogen technologies in railway transport is anticipated to have a lasting positive impact on the environment and pave the way for further innovations in green hydrogen.
