In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported technology group Andritz has opened a new electrolyzer facility in Erfurt, Germany, designed to deliver an initial annual production capacity of approximately one gigawatt (1 GW). At the premises, key components for green hydrogen production have already been produced since March 2025, Andritz said, adding that the output can be flexibly scaled up depending on customer demand, according to the report. Joachim Schönbeck, CEO of Andritz, 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. 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.” The report stated that all green hydrogen products made in Erfurt are said to be CE-certified and reportedly meet European safety and performance standards.
