ANDRITZ to engineer another 100 MW green hydrogen plant for Germany

The order was placed by REPCO (Rostock EnergyPort Co. GmbH), a joint venture (JV) of RWE Generation SE, EnBW Neue Energien GmbH, RheinEnergie AG, and Rostock Port GmbH.

Subject to the investment decision planned for mid-2025, REPCO intends to give ANDRITZ the notice to proceed with the supply of the green hydrogen plant. This plant will supply the German Hydrogen Core Network and the future European Hydrogen Backbone infrastructure, thus representing a key step in advancing Europe’s green energy transition.

Upon receipt of the notice to proceed, ANDRITZ will supply the green hydrogen plant on an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) basis using HydrogenPro pressurised alkaline technology for the electrolysis process. The scope of supply includes the green hydrogen production plant, off-sites, utilities, hydrogen purification, compression systems, storage facilities, and a hydrogen filling station. Commissioning is scheduled for 2027.

REPCO’s green hydrogen plant will connect to the Hydrogen Core Network, a pipeline network dedicated to the future transport of hydrogen across European countries, scheduled to become operational in 2028. In addition, the plant will serve local industries and the mobility sector, further supporting Germany’s decarbonisation strategy.

Michael Wurzel, Managing Director at REPCO, said: “The 100 MW electrolyser is the centrepiece of the HyTechHafen Rostock project, which aims to advance the energy transition in Europe. This is a crucial project for Rostock, reinforcing the position of the area as a key interchange for energy transportation. ANDRITZ has demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the entire scope, and we value their flexibility and collaborative approach.”

Sami Pelkonen, Executive Vice President at Green Hydrogen, ANDRITZ, added: “We have always emphasised that no one can achieve the green transition alone. That is why we are excited to see major German energy companies, and Rostock Port GmbH as local supporter, leading by example and joining forces to drive progress. We are proud to be a part of this important green hydrogen project, and to work together towards a more sustainable future.”

The JV, REPCO, was established in 2022 with the goal of advancing the development and expansion of green hydrogen production, and distribution infrastructure.

This is the second order related to the supply of a 100 MW green hydrogen plant to Germany for ANDRITZ. The first was received from Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH.
