ENTEGA constructs hydrogen production plant

Hydrogen production at the Darmstadt, Germany, waste-to-energy plant (MHKW) has taken a major step forward. Following an EU-wide tender, the green energy and telecommunications service provider, ENTEGA, has now awarded the contract for the plant's technical components.
The contract was awarded to the hydrogen plant engineering specialist FEST GmbH from Goslar, which will install, among other things, the electrolyser, compressor, and hydrogen trailer filling station. Construction of the plant, with a capacity of 3 MW, is scheduled to begin in October 2025. The production facility is scheduled to enter regular operation in the 1Q27. The project is being funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) as part of the DELTA real-world laboratory project.
In the electrolyser, water is split into its components, hydrogen and oxygen, using green electricity. The plant is designed to produce around 310 tpy of green hydrogen, which will primarily be used for hydrogen-powered buses. This amount is sufficient to power approximately 40 buses. Compared to diesel, this will prevent 4000 tpy of CO2 emissions due to consumption. The hydrogen is generally planned to be picked up by trailers to refuel the buses from local public transport companies.
"This project demonstrates that ENTEGA is a pioneer of the energy transition. Green hydrogen is becoming increasingly important in achieving climate protection goals. We are pleased that ENTEGA can make an exemplary contribution here," said ENTEGA's CEO, Dr Marie-Luise Wolff.
The Darmstadt Waste Recycling Association (ZAS) owns the waste-to-energy plant in Darmstadt. ENTEGA is responsible for its operation.
