ENERTRAG signs land purchase agreement for hydrogen project in Germany

Global Hydrogen Review,
The planned hydrogen plant is part of the European Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) funding programme and will be connected to the future German hydrogen core network. The first phase of construction will have an electrolysis capacity of 60 MW – enough to produce around 6000 tpy of green hydrogen. In a second phase, the plant can be expanded to a total of 180 MW. The project will thus make a significant contribution to the decarbonisation of industry and to sustainable energy supply in north-east Germany.
Michael Westphal, Managing Director of ENERTRAG Landgesellschaft, said: “This is a milestone in the construction of a hydrogen plant in Pasewalk, which will be one of the first in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This project will not only create new jobs, but also strengthen local economic development and act as a beacon for the region. Our project is another step towards completely replacing fossil fuels.”
Danny Rodewald, Mayor of Pasewalk, added: “With the notarised signing of the purchase agreement, we are setting another milestone for the development of the Berlin-Szczecin industrial park and also for the industrial future of our city. The planned hydrogen plant by ENERTRAG is not only a strong commitment to Pasewalk as a location, but also a catalyst for the entire region. With this company, green electricity will remain where it is produced. We look forward to continuing our trusting cooperation with ENERTRAG and taking joint steps towards a sustainable future.”
The specific planning progress has already been scheduled: in 2025, the engineering work for the technical design will be commissioned. The first nature conservation measures will begin on the site in August, including the construction of a reptile protection fence. The approval documents are expected to be submitted in the 1H26. Construction is scheduled to start in 2027, with commissioning planned for 2029.
