Project Overview
The project in Schwäbisch Gmünd marks a significant step in the market ramp-up of green hydrogen in Germany, integrating renewable gas into local ecosystems. The plant will utilize renewable electricity from hydro, wind, and solar power purchase agreements and is expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2024.
Funding and Support
Funded by the state of Baden-Württemberg and the EU, the project has received a €6.4 million grant from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). This initiative supports a sustainable neighborhood solution for local industry and lays the groundwork for future climate-friendly infrastructure.
Usage and Impact
The hydrogen produced will be used in the H2-Aspen industrial park and at a JET H2 hydrogen filling station. The project is part of the HyFIVE (Hydrogen For Innovative Vehicles) initiative, contributing to the decarbonization of mobility and industry with green renewable hydrogen on an industrial scale.
Future Prospects
Lhyfe's growth is supported by a robust business pipeline with a total installed production capacity of 10.3 GW across Europe. In 2021, Lhyfe inaugurated the world's first large-scale green hydrogen production plant linked to a wind farm in France. In 2022, the first offshore pilot platform for green hydrogen production was launched at the port of Saint-Nazaire, making Lhyfe the first company globally to start offshore hydrogen production.
