In a significant move towards decarbonization, EWE and Siemens Energy have announced plans to build a 280 MW green hydrogen electrolysis plant in Germany. The facility will be one of the largest of its kind in Europe, producing green hydrogen from renewable energy sources.
The plant will utilize Siemens Energy’s electrolysis technology to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, using electricity from wind and solar power. The green hydrogen produced will be used to power industrial processes, transportation, and energy storage.
The project marks a major milestone in the transition towards a low-carbon economy, demonstrating the feasibility of large-scale green hydrogen production. EWE and Siemens Energy aim to complete the project by 2025, with the plant expected to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 1.5 million tons annually.
The collaboration between EWE and Siemens Energy showcases the growing demand for green hydrogen and the importance of partnerships in driving the energy transition. The project will also contribute to Germany’s ambitious climate goals, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030. Siemens Energy, specializes in developing and providing solutions for power generation, transmission, and industrial applications.
Founded as a separate entity from Siemens AG in 2020, the company is dedicated to driving the transition to sustainable and renewable energy sources. Siemens Energy offers a wide range of products and services, including gas and steam turbines, wind turbines, and power transformers, catering to diverse energy needs worldwide.
