Nel Secures €30 Million Order for Record-Breaking Green Hydrogen Project in Germany

Nel has just secured an enormous order from the German green hydrogen developer, HH2E, for a 120MW electrolyser that will be used on a project in Lubmin. The estimated value of the order is more than €30 million, however, it will only be finalised once both companies have signed a final purchase contract following completion of a FEED study. This process is expected to take place during the first half of 2023.The plant will be powered entirely by renewable energy sourced from offshore and onshore sources and accompanied by an integrated battery backup to ensure continual production of green hydrogen. Upon completion in 2025, it will be capable of producing around 6,000 tonnes of the gas annually. Expansion plans are already underway with an impressive goal to increase capacity to 1GW or higher by 2030.Alexander Voigt, Co-founder and board member of HH2E remarked: “Our original aim to generate 4GW worth of green hydrogen production capacity by 2030 here in Germany is progressing swiftly and looks very achievable. To make this possible we need electrolysers that offer top quality results like those delivered by Nel – their technology and experience will enable us to reduce risk associated with our projects and stay on track.

Summary

• Nel has secured a 120MW electrolyser order from German green hydrogen developer HH2E for a project in Lubmin.
• The renewable power used to produce the green hydrogen will be sourced from additional offshore as well as onshore generation capacity.
• Construction of the first phase of the plant in Lubmin is to begin this year, with commissioning planned for 2025.
