Elektrolyse Mitteldeutschland GmbH is a specialized German limited liability company established to develop, construct, and operate green hydrogen production facilities.
The company serves as the joint venture vehicle for a 30 MW pressurized alkaline electrolyzer at the Energiepark Bad Lauchstädt site in Saxony-Anhalt. This facility uses renewable electricity from an adjacent wind farm of approximately 50 MW capacity to produce green hydrogen via water electrolysis. The first hydrogen was generated in November 2026, marking the start of integrated system testing ahead of full commercial operations targeted for 2027.
Produced hydrogen will be supplied to industrial customers, with an initial anchor offtake agreement for around 3,000 tonnes per year to the TotalEnergies refinery in Leuna, transported through a repurposed 25 km pipeline. The project demonstrates an integrated value chain encompassing renewable power generation, electrolysis, gas treatment, and hydrogen distribution in the Mitteldeutschland chemical cluster.
Ownership is split 51% to Uniper Hydrogen GmbH and 49% to VNG Handel & Vertrieb GmbH, combining Uniper's international hydrogen project expertise with VNG's gas wholesale and marketing capabilities. Registered in Düsseldorf with a share capital of €25,000, the company focuses its activities on the Bad Lauchstädt location and contributes to scaling Germany's green hydrogen infrastructure for industrial decarbonization.
