Site Overview
Lhyfe has inaugurated its first commercial renewable hydrogen production site in Germany, located in Schwäbisch Gmünd. With a 10 MW capacity, the site can produce up to 4 tons of renewable hydrogen daily through water electrolysis using renewable energy.
Funding and Certification
The project received €2.1 million in funding from the state of Baden-Württemberg and €4.3 million from the EU's European Regional Development Fund. The site achieved RFNBO certification in September 2025, meeting the EU's stringent standards for renewable hydrogen.
Supply Chain and Logistics
Lhyfe has established a robust supply chain in Germany, securing power purchase agreements with local renewable electricity producers. The site features modular, stackable facilities for efficient hydrogen production and distribution, including filling stations for trucks and tube trailers.
Applications and Impact
The renewable hydrogen produced is intended for use in decarbonizing heavy-duty mobility and industrial sectors, offering a carbon-free alternative to grey hydrogen and fossil gas. Lhyfe has agreements to supply regional hydrogen refueling stations and plans to support future industrial zones like the H2-Aspen.
Operational History
Lhyfe has been active in Germany since 2020, initially working with Deutsche Bahn on the H2goesRail project. The company began delivering renewable hydrogen in 2023 and has developed a strong logistics network, managing a fleet of 70 high-performance tube trailers across Europe.
