Siemens Energy and HH2E are embarking on an innovative partnership to advance green hydrogen production across Germany, focusing on the delivery of essential high-voltage systems and power transformers. This collaboration is set to redefine the future of green energy, leveraging Siemens Energy’s cutting-edge technology for HH2E’s large-scale green hydrogen facilities.
In a strategic effort to replace fossil fuels with renewable sources, green hydrogen emerges as a pivotal solution, acting both as a versatile energy carrier and a key raw material for various applications. With a specific interest in harnessing renewable energy for electricity and heat production previously reliant on gas, HH2E is at the forefront of the energy transition, aiming to utilize curtailed power for green hydrogen production.
The project kicks off with the establishment of HH2E-Werk facilities in Lubmin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and Thierbach, Saxony, initially setting a 100 MW input power capacity. This setup not only promises an annual production of 7,000 tons of green hydrogen but also harbors the potential for expansion up to 1 GW, elevating the production to 70,000 tons annually, all while adhering to European Union Renewable Energy Standards.
A cornerstone of HH2E’s approach includes integrating electrolyzers with high-capacity batteries, a move that aligns perfectly with Siemens Energy’s technological offerings. This synergy between curtailed power utilization and Siemens Energy’s expertise underscores a commitment to turning green electrons into a sustainable production force.
Moreover, HH2E’s vision extends to benefit local communities by integrating green heat into district heating networks, further exemplifying the comprehensive benefits of green hydrogen production. This partnership marks a departure from conventional buyer-supplier dynamics, fostering a collaborative relationship focused on long-term cooperation and shared growth.
The Lubmin project, among others to follow, is celebrated for showcasing the integral role of Siemens Energy’s high-voltage systems and power transformers in green hydrogen production, highlighting a mutual commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the broader green energy transition. Through this collaboration, Siemens Energy and HH2E are not only contributing to the decarbonization of the energy sector but also setting industry standards for modular, scalable green hydrogen solutions.
