Our MW-sized AEM Nexus 1000 in Saerbeck is now supplying a combined heat and power (CHP) system powered by 100% green hydrogen, the Enapter announced.
The Saerbeck Bioenergy Park is just a stone’s throw away from our Enapter Campus. It’s already home to a clean energy mix of wind, solar and biomass with a total capacity of ~33 MW of electrical power.
The bioenergy park therefore produces twice as much energy as the municipality of Saerbeck needs – it also supplies the Enapter Campus with 100% locally-made clean energy.
As part of the HyCore research project with the University of Applied Sciences Münster (FH Münster), our megawatt-class electrolyser container, the AEM Nexus 1000, has also been located there since mid-2023.
Powered by local wind and solar energy, the large-scale electrolyser produces onsite green hydrogen for RnD purposes. There is also a hydrogen pipeline to the Enapter Campus.
Very recently, an innovative combined heat and power (CHP) unit from 2G Energy AG located next to our AEM Nexus 1000 was put into operation – powered by 100% local green hydrogen.
With an output of 115 kW of electricity and 129kW of thermal energy, the system has an overall efficiency level of 80% thanks to sector coupling.
FH Münster aims to optimise the practical use of the CHP unit in the local renewable energy network and drive forward the technical development of the H2 CHP unit.
With the addition of the CHP unit, the university is completing their H2 Application Lab’s hydrogen system technology on an industrial scale.
