- The plant will have a capacity of up to 15 megawatts.
- Production is set to start in 2025.
- The goal is to supply 3.7 tons of green hydrogen daily.
- The waste heat will be used in Schaeffler's industrial processes.
Project Overview
Lhyfe and Schaeffler have signed a Letter of Intent to produce and purchase green hydrogen. They plan to build and operate a 15 MW electrolysis plant at Schaeffler’s factory in Herzogenaurach, Germany. The plant aims to produce green hydrogen on an industrial scale, contributing to regional decarbonization efforts.
Production and Supply
The plant is expected to start production in 2025, supplying approximately 3.7 tons of green hydrogen daily. Potential customers include municipalities and hydrogen filling stations. The waste heat generated by the electrolysis process will be utilized in Schaeffler’s industrial operations.
Decarbonization Goals
Schaeffler aims to achieve climate-neutral production by 2030. The partnership with Lhyfe is a strategic move to support this goal by integrating renewable energy sources into their production processes.
Technological Collaboration
By collaborating with Lhyfe, Schaeffler leverages innovative hydrogen technology to enhance sustainability. This project demonstrates the readiness of green hydrogen technology and encourages further investment in the sector.
