GP JOULE expands hydrogen production with 2 MW electrolyser from H-TEC SYSTEMS

Global Hydrogen Review,
Energy transition company GP JOULE has ordered a 2 MW electrolyser from H-TEC SYSTEMS. The electrolyser is to produce hydrogen for a filling station in Bremerhaven, Germany. The electricity required for this will come from a nearby wind farm. Delivery and installation of the electrolyser is scheduled for mid-2023. H-TEC SYSTEMS and GP JOULE are thus building on their successful collaboration, including in the eFarm project in North Friesland.
The hydrogen production plant is to be built in Bremerhaven's Grauwallring industrial estate. It is part of the HY.City.Bremerhaven hydrogen project initiated by GP JOULE and Green Fuels GmbH. GP JOULE is responsible for the construction and operation of the electrolysis plant. From the Grauwallring, the green hydrogen will be delivered to a filling station at the depot of Bremerhaven Bus, the local bus company. The hydrogen filling station will also be open to other customers. In March, the project already received funding approval from the German Federal Ministry of Transport as part of the "HyLand" funding program. HY.City.Bremerhaven is part of the hydrogen network project "Hyways for Future", which covers the North-West metropolitan region from Oldenburg to Cuxhaven.
While many hydrogen development regions in Germany are still working on pilot studies, the Northwest is already moving ahead with implementation. The experience of the players from the eFarm project is a great help. There, three out of a total of five planned electrolysis units from H-TEC SYSTEMS are already in operation.
André Steinau, Managing Director of GP JOULE HYDROGEN said: "The electrolyser order is a big step for the HY.City.Bremerhaven project. Our well-coordinated coordination and the reliable technology will help us to get the project on the home straight on time and to be able to offer regional green hydrogen in Bremerhaven in 2023. The fuel cell vehicles will help make the city quieter and cleaner."
