Project Overview
ANDRITZ has been commissioned to engineer a 100 MW green hydrogen plant in Rostock, Germany, by REPCO, a joint venture of RWE Generation SE, EnBW Neue Energien GmbH, RheinEnergie AG, and Rostock Port GmbH. The plant aims to support Germany's Hydrogen Core Network and the European Hydrogen Backbone, contributing to Europe's green energy transition.
Technology and Scope
Upon receiving the notice to proceed, ANDRITZ will deliver the plant on an EPC basis, utilizing HydrogenPro pressurized alkaline technology for the electrolysis process. The scope includes the production plant, offsites and utilities, hydrogen purification and compression systems, storage facilities, and a hydrogen filling station.
Timeline and Milestones
The investment decision is expected by mid-2025, with commissioning scheduled for 2027. The plant is anticipated to become operational in 2028, aligning with the timeline for the Hydrogen Core Network's activation.
Strategic Importance
This project marks a significant step in Germany's decarbonization strategy, serving local industries and the mobility sector. It will be one of the first plants in Germany to connect to the Hydrogen Core Network, a dedicated pipeline for hydrogen transport across Europe.
Previous Engagements
This is the second order for ANDRITZ related to a 100 MW green hydrogen plant in Germany, following a previous order from Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH. The joint venture REPCO, established in 2022, focuses on advancing green hydrogen production and distribution infrastructure.
