Hy2gen's Certification and Expansion Plans for Green Hydrogen Production in Germany
Key Ideas
- Hy2gen obtains certification for its green hydrogen and e-methane production in Werlte, Germany, meeting EU criteria for renewable fuels.
- The company, previously focused on biogenic CO2-based e-methane, now emphasizes green hydrogen as its main product.
- An expansion is on the horizon as Hy2gen secures a new power purchase agreement to increase the project's capacity.
- The Atlantis plant, acquired in 2023, has been operating since 2013 and is poised for growth under the new focus on green hydrogen.
Hy2gen, based in Germany, has recently achieved certification for its green hydrogen and e-methane production at the 6.3MW Atlantis plant in Werlte, Germany. This certification, in accordance with EU regulations for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs), validates the project's compliance with all EU criteria. While the plant was previously under Kiwi AG's ownership and primarily produced hydrogen and biogenic CO2-based e-methane, Hy2gen has shifted its focus to prioritize green hydrogen. The company's strategic move towards green hydrogen is reinforced by a new power purchase agreement (PPA) that will enable the project to enhance its capacity and facilitate expansion. The Atlantis plant, which has been operational since 2013, is poised for further development and growth under Hy2gen's renewed emphasis on green energy production and sustainability. This certification and expansion plans mark a positive step for Hy2gen's commitment to green hydrogen and its advancement within the renewable energy sector.
