HH2E has awarded Gerbrüder Karstens a €45m ($50m) contract to jointly develop a green hydrogen production plant in Lubmin, Germany.

Under the contract, Karstens will lead all structural and civil engineering work for the plant, collaborating with regional partners to contribute to local economic development.

Construction of the Lubmin plant will begin following approval of the project under the German Federal Immission Control Act (BlmschG) and the final investment decision (FID) by HH2E shareholders.

H2 View understands the plant will have an initial capacity of 100MW and be scalable up to 1GW, the same as all hydrogen production projects HH2E plans to develop across Germany.
