Hydrogen boost from North German, Danish plans for 850 MW electrolyzers by 2025

摘要

Five north German states have joined forces to establish a green hydrogen cluster with an interim, 500-MW electrolyzer target set for 2025, the HY-5 initiative said at the Hamburg wind fair Dec. 1. At the same event, the Green Hydrogen Hub Denmark (GHH) project unveiled plans for a 350-MW electrolyzer project in Northern Jytland by 2025. HY-5 comprises the German coastal states of Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western-Pomerania, Hamburg and Bremen. Around 50 green hydrogen projects are already planned across the region, including by Orsted, EDF, refinery Heide, ArcelorMittal, BP and RWE. In addition six regulatory sandboxes are being funded by the federal government. "HY-5 bundles our forces and we are demonstrating the enormous potential of hydrogen technology in our region," Schleswig-Holstein economy minister Bernd Bucholz said.
