Neuman & Esser Technology Chosen for Emden Electrolyzer in Clean Hydrogen Coastline Initiative
Key Ideas
- EWE has awarded Neuman & Esser a key technology contract for a 320-megawatt green hydrogen plant in Emden, Germany, as part of the Clean Hydrogen Coastline initiative.
- Neuman & Esser will provide critical compressors for efficient hydrogen production, driving forward the decarbonization of the energy system and the evolution of hydrogen technology.
- The project aims to establish an end-to-end hydrogen value chain in northern Germany, reinforcing regional energy security and supporting Germany’s decarbonization strategy.
- EWE's investment in hydrogen infrastructure, like the Emden facility, reflects a commitment to advancing the hydrogen economy and contributing to the local economy and long-term energy security.
EWE, an energy service provider in Germany, has selected Neuman & Esser to provide technology for the Emden electrolyzer, a key component of the Clean Hydrogen Coastline initiative. The initiative aims to establish a comprehensive hydrogen value chain in northern Germany. The Emden electrolyzer, a 320-megawatt green hydrogen plant, is set to begin industrial-scale hydrogen production in 2027. Neuman & Esser will supply critical compressors for the project, essential for downstream processing and integration into storage and transportation networks. The project in Emden is seen as a significant step towards industrial hydrogen production, utilizing renewable energies, primarily wind power, to produce hydrogen. This endeavor aligns with Germany's decarbonization strategy and contributes to the region's energy security. EWE's choice to work with Neuman & Esser reflects confidence in their engineering capabilities and a shared dedication to advancing the hydrogen economy. By investing in projects like the Emden facility, EWE aims to strengthen the local economy, ensure long-term energy supply, and play a key role in Germany's energy transition.
