- The project aims to decarbonize the industrial port complex and maritime transport.
Project Overview
Lhyfe is constructing a green hydrogen production plant in Brake, Lower Saxony, Germany. Located in the harbour area of Niedersachsen Ports, this facility will be the first in northern Germany to supply green hydrogen to the broader market. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on 1 February.
Production Capacity
The plant will produce up to 1,150 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, with an installed electrolysis capacity of 10 MW. The electricity required for production will be sourced from wind and photovoltaic plants through corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
Regional Impact
This project is expected to play a significant role in decarbonizing the industrial port complex and maritime transport in the region. It will also create new jobs and provide local companies with access to affordable clean hydrogen, fostering regional economic growth.
Strategic Importance
The plant supports Lower Saxony's goals of building a comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure. The port of Brake offers ideal conditions for such projects, including available space and trimodal connections to rail, road, and waterways.
Future Developments
Lhyfe is also working on other hydrogen production sites across Europe, including a recently announced project in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Baden-Württemberg. The company aims to meet the growing demand for clean hydrogen through its various ongoing and planned projects.
