Thyssenkrupp Nucera Awarded Major Green Hydrogen Project in Europe
Key Ideas
  • Thyssenkrupp nucera has been awarded a Front-End Engineering Design contract for a 600 MW water electrolysis facility for industrial decarbonization in Europe.
  • The project aims to reduce CO₂ emissions in hard-to-abate industrial sectors by deploying green hydrogen, contributing to regional climate goals.
  • The upcoming Engineering, Procurement, and Fabrication phase is expected to lead to a Final Investment Decision by 2026, marking significant progress in Europe's hydrogen ecosystem.
  • Thyssenkrupp nucera's involvement in this project strengthens its role in Europe's hydrogen infrastructure and supports the continent's net-zero ambitions.
A major green hydrogen project in Europe has awarded thyssenkrupp nucera, a global leader in high-efficiency electrolysis technology, a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract. The project involves constructing a water electrolysis facility with a capacity of approximately 600 megawatts to produce hydrogen for hard-to-abate industrial sectors, aiming to significantly cut CO₂ emissions. The customer plans to utilize the hydrogen in industrial applications traditionally reliant on fossil fuels, presenting opportunities for decarbonization. Dr. Werner Ponikwar, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera, emphasized the importance of industry in scaling up the hydrogen economy and noted the viability of the business case in Europe under suitable conditions. The company anticipates progressing towards an Engineering, Procurement, and Fabrication (EPF) contract with the client, with a Final Investment Decision expected by 2026 to commence construction and operations. If realized, this project would be thyssenkrupp nucera's third large-scale hydrogen facility in Europe, further solidifying its position in the region's hydrogen infrastructure. The company's involvement in projects like the 200 MW electrolysis plant for Shell and the 740 MW facility for Stegra underscores its commitment to supporting Europe's green initiatives and net-zero goals.
