In a pivotal move for green hydrogen production in Germany, HH2E has signed a significant contract with Gebrüder Karstens Bauunternehmung GmbH to construct its flagship green hydrogen plant in Lubmin. This project is set to become one of Europe’s largest green hydrogen production facilities, marking a major milestone in the continent’s energy transition.
The contract, valued at approximately 45 million euros, assigns the family-owned company from Waren an der Müritz the responsibility for all structural and civil engineering work at the Lubmin plant. Gebrüder Karstens will collaborate with regional partners, thereby boosting local economic development and strengthening the value chain within Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
This agreement is a landmark for HH2E, as it represents the first construction contract awarded for their groundbreaking green hydrogen facilities. The company has ambitious plans to develop scalable hydrogen production projects across Germany, with each site starting at an initial capacity of 100 megawatts, scalable up to 1 gigawatt. HH2E aims to establish at least 4 gigawatts of green hydrogen production capacity in Germany by 2030.
The construction of the Lubmin plant is slated to begin after the project receives approval under the German Federal Immission Control Act (BImschG) and the final investment decision is made by HH2E shareholders.
