Uniper Partners with Electric Hydrogen for Green Hydrogen Plant in Wilhelmshaven
Key Ideas
  • Uniper selects Electric Hydrogen as its exclusive partner to design a 200 MW electrolyser plant in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, for large scale electrolysis within the Green Wilhelmshaven project.
  • The project includes producing green hydrogen and building an ammonia import terminal, aiming to meet a significant portion of Germany's green hydrogen demand.
  • Both plants will be connected to the German hydrogen backbone and underground storage facilities, with the goal of transforming Wilhelmshaven into a central hub for green hydrogen.
  • Electric Hydrogen will provide advanced electrolysis technology using renewable electricity from wind farms to create zero-carbon green hydrogen gas for Uniper's industrial customers.
Uniper has chosen Electric Hydrogen as its exclusive partner to develop a 200 MW electrolyser plant in Wilhelmshaven, Northern Germany, as part of the Green Wilhelmshaven project. The collaboration involves the construction of large scale electrolysis to produce green hydrogen and an ammonia import terminal. The project, granted Project of Common Interest (PCI) status, aims to cater to a significant portion of Germany's green hydrogen demand. The electrolyser plant will utilize renewable electricity from wind farms to produce zero-carbon green hydrogen, supporting industries like chemicals, steel, marine, and air transport in their journey towards carbon neutrality. Uniper's goal with the Green Wilhelmshaven project is to establish Wilhelmshaven as a key hub for green hydrogen in Germany. The partnership with Electric Hydrogen signifies a commitment to decarbonize German and European industries, with a focus on affordability and sustainability. The project also aligns with broader aims to drive the energy transition and secure Europe's energy supply. The article highlights the pivotal role of green hydrogen in transitioning industries away from fossil fuels towards sustainable alternatives. The joint efforts of Uniper and Electric Hydrogen reflect a shared vision to accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen and contribute to a greener future.
