Siemens Energy will supply a 280MW electrolysis system for EWE’s hydrogen production plant planned for 2027, as part of a 10-year service contract.

Located in Emden, Germany, the facility is expected to produce up to 26,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for industrial applications in the region. The electrolysis plant is part of the Clean Hydrogen Coastline, which consists of four sub-projects.

The PEM electrolyser represents the “core of the Emden hydrogen production plant,” which, along with other components such as compressors and cooling systems, will have an average power consumption of 320MW over its entire lifetime.
