Lhyfe starts building green hydrogen plant in Brake

The plant will produce up to 1150 tpy of green hydrogen (installed electrolysis capacity of 10 MW). The electricity will come from wind and photovoltaic plants in the country, through corporate PPAs. Potential offtakers would include various industrial and mobility applications.

“We are delighted to be able to realise this 10 MW project. It demonstrates the economic viability of hydrogen solutions in the transport and industrial sectors and supports the state of Lower Saxony in its ambitious goals of building a nationwide hydrogen infrastructure. The port of Brake offers ideal conditions for the construction of green hydrogen plants. This project is also an important signal for Lhyfe and the sign of our ambition to make the future of energy supply more sustainable", said Luc Graré, Head of Central & Eastern Europe at Lhyfe.

Lower Saxony Economics Minister, Olaf Lies, commented: "Today's groundbreaking ceremony is a great success for the energy transition in our coastal region: it not only marks significant progress towards a sustainable energy supply, but also a clear commitment to regional value creation and decarbonisation. The port location of Brake offers ideal conditions for the production of renewable hydrogen. With this project, we are not only strengthening regional development, but also networking between industry and local stakeholders who are working together on innovative and sustainable solutions. Many thanks for the support of all the partners who have made this ambitious project possible. It combines innovation, sustainability and regional strength and is an example of successful collaboration on the path to a comprehensive and sustainable transformation of our energy system."

The project in Lower Saxony will play a major role in decarbonising the industrial port complex and maritime transport.
