In Germany, Andritz has opened its new electrolyzer gigafactory in Erfurt, Germany. The new facility has an initial annual production capacity of approximately one gigawatt which corresponds to approximately 160 to 200 electrolyzers per year. At the site, key components for green hydrogen production have already been produced since March of this year, including electrolyzer cell stacks and phase separators which are then subjected to a pressure test and quality control, the firm said. “With this Gigafactory, we not only support our customers in mastering the green transition, but also get closer to our goal of being a leading provider of innovative, economically viable solutions here,” said Andritz CEO Joachim Schönbeck. “At our site in Erfurt, we benefit from the existing infrastructure and look back on over 125 years of expertise in heavy machinery construction. This gives us the best conditions to produce electrolyzers on a large scale.”
