Lhyfe has started the construction of a 10MW green hydrogen production plant in Germany.
The site, in Baden-Württemberg, will supply hydrogen directly to an industrial park.
It is also the first in a network of many plants that will be operated by Lhyfe and supply green hydrogen nationwide in Germany in the coming years.
The project, in Schwäbisch Gmünd, will use renewable electricity secured from hydro, wind and solar power purchase agreements.
It is scheduled to be commissioned in the second half of 2024.
The hydrogen will be used partly in the H2-Aspen industrial park and at a JET H2 hydrogen filling station.
Last January, Lhyfe and the joint venture JET H2 signed an agreement for the construction of the hydrogen filling station in Schwäbisch Gmünd.
“The project demonstrates the economic viability of hydrogen solutions in the transport and industry sectors and also supports the state of Baden-Württemberg in its efforts to become a model region for the development of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure.
“We very much welcome the fact that the state and the city of Schwäbisch Gmünd want to implement their ambitious goals for a hydrogen economy based on renewable energies and that we are taking this step together.
“With the construction of the production plant, we are making an important contribution to the goals of the federal government,” said Luc Graré, Head of Central & Eastern Europe at Lhyfe.
