The project in Prenzlau, supported by the European Hy2Infra programme, is expected to produce 12,500 tonnes of green hydrogen per year. The site includes a 130MW electricity connection.
Hydrogen from the project is planned to be fed into a section of Germany’s hydrogen core network for transportation to industrial users. Enertrag says “several” trailer filling stations will also be built.
It comes as part of the Hy2Infra IPCEI, which offered up to €6.9bn ($8.03bn) in funding for 33 hydrogen projects across seven EU member states.
The project is among 3.2GW of electrolysis capacity backed by Hy2Infra, 1.5GW of which is in Germany.
Under Enertrag’s original Hy2Infra submission, the project was due to have a capacity of 185MW to produce 1,500 tonnes of green hydrogen per year.
According to the company’s website, 60MW of electrolysis would initially be commissioned, before expanding to 120MW and then 180MW.
While still in the technical planning phase, the €300m ($349m) project will see electrolysis equipment installed within an existing industrial unit. Enertrag plans to submit planning documents “shortly.”
