E.ON Hydrogen has partnered with Andritz to conduct an engineering study for its 20MW green hydrogen plant in Essen, Germany, as part of the HydroHarbourEssen (HHE) project. This initiative is set to provide electrolytic hydrogen for transport and industry applications within the city harbour's vicinity. The project also includes plans for a heavy-duty hydrogen refuelling station nearby. The plant, powered by renewable energy, aims to comply with EU regulations on renewable fuels of non-biological origin. Additionally, the waste heat generated could be utilized for the local district heating network by Iqony Fernwärme. Andritz will oversee feasibility and safety studies for the overall plant setup, with completion expected in 2024 and hydrogen production targeted for 2027. The Vice-President of Green Hydrogen at Andritz expressed enthusiasm for the partnership and commitment to effective project execution. E.ON also has a strong collaboration with HydrogenPro, working on a separate 100MW electrolyser plant for steelmaker Salzgitter, highlighting the growing focus on green hydrogen production and decarbonisation efforts in the industrial sector.
