H2B2 said the five 2MW electrolysers will together supply up to 4,300kg of green hydrogen a day. The German company will receive the electrolysers this year and bring them into operation in 2024.
Germany has the fourth largest network of hydrogen refuelling stations in the world after Japan, South Korea and China. According to data from the International Energy Agency, in 2021 it had more than 90 stations – 13% of the global total.
Ove Petersen, CEO and co-founder of GP Joule, said at WindEnergy in Hamburg last September that his company wanted to combine wind and hydrogen “meaningfully”.
“After all, faster expansion of wind and solar plants will only succeed with the integration of electrolysers and thus hydrogen into our European energy system,” he added.
According to H2B2, the hydrogen energy market will reach $10 trillion in value by 2030, with installations of electrolysers set to grow from 2GW currently to 242GW.
The EU is working on regulations that support the development of infrastructure for green hydrogen in mobility.
Last October, the European Parliament approved a draft of the proposed Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), which aims to implement hydrogen vehicle refuelling stations at 100-km intervals along Europe’s road network. The regulation will enter force once a final text is agreed among the EU institutions.
