Germanyewe.com

EWE HYDROGEN GmbH, a subsidiary of EWE AG based in Oldenburg, Germany, specializes in the production and distribution of green hydrogen. The company plans, constructs, and operates electrolysis plants to generate hydrogen from renewable energy sources, alongside storage, pipeline distribution, and related consulting services.

It leads key projects under the EWE Group's Clean Hydrogen Coastline initiative, an IPCEI-funded program covering the full hydrogen value chain. Highlights include a 320 MW electrolysis plant in Emden, East Frisia—one of Germany's largest—set to produce up to 26,000 tons of green hydrogen annually from late 2027 for industrial applications such as steel production and chemicals. Supporting efforts encompass a 10 MW electrolyser in Bremen, 2 MW facility in Cuxhaven, hydrogen storage conversion in Huntorf, and pipeline infrastructure like H2 Coastlink.

These initiatives aim to decarbonize energy-intensive industries, enhance supply security, and integrate excess renewables, positioning northwest Germany as a hydrogen hub.
