A central core for future hydrogen production has arrived – with the two large transformers, one of the most important energy projects is taking tangible shape, the EWE AG announced.
After a journey of several weeks from Croatia via the port of Emden to Hammrich in Borssum, two large transformers from Siemens Energy have arrived at construction site: they are the central component for the planned 320-megawatt electrolysis plant.
This marks a decisive step forward for one of Germany’s largest hydrogen projects.
The transformers are part of our IPCEI project within the Clean Hydrogen Coastline program, which covers the entire green hydrogen value chain – from production to storage to transport. The plant in Emden is expected to supply up to 30,000 tons of green hydrogen per year starting in 2027.
The goal is a broad market ramp-up: Green hydrogen should not only reach individual large customers, but also supply mobility, industry, and storage facilities like our cavern facility in Huntorf via the emerging hydrogen core network.
Initial letters of intent with industrial partners already exist, and a flexible marketing strategy ensures independence from individual customers’ purchasing behavior.
The company’s goal remains clear: green hydrogen from Emden starting in 2027 – for the region, for the transformation, and for a secure energy supply of the future.
