Germany – Lhyfe is building the largest commercial green hydrogen production plant in Germany. The plant will be located in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Baden-Württemberg, and will have a capacity of 4 tonnes per day of green hydrogen.
The plant will use renewable electricity from hydro, wind, and solar power purchase agreements to produce green hydrogen. The hydrogen will be used partly in the “H2-Aspen” industrial park and at a JET H2 hydrogen filling station.
The project is supported by the state of Baden-Württemberg, the EU, and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). It is expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2024.
The Lhyfe plant in Schwäbisch Gmünd will use a process called electrolysis to produce green hydrogen. Electrolysis is a well-established technology that is becoming increasingly cost-competitive as the cost of renewable electricity continues to decline.
German milestone
The construction of the Lhyfe plant in Schwäbisch Gmünd is a significant milestone for the green hydrogen industry in Germany. The plant will help to increase the supply of green hydrogen in Germany and reduce the country’s reliance on imported hydrogen.
In addition, the plant will help to reduce Germany’s carbon footprint and support the country’s transition to a clean energy future. Green hydrogen can be used to decarbonize a variety of sectors, including industry, transportation, and power generation.
