In India, BioEnergy Research reported that German utility RWE has begun the start-up process for what it says will be Europe’s largest renewable hydrogen facility, located in Lingen, western Germany.
The project includes a 100-megawatt hydrogen unit that forms the first stage of the larger 300-megawatt GET H2 Nukleus development. Hydrogen produced at the site will be supplied to TotalEnergies’ refinery in Leuna, eastern Germany.
An RWE spokesperson said work has begun to bring the first 100 megawatts of the Lingen hydrogen plant online. The company expects this initial phase to begin commercial operations in 2026, according to the report.
Once operational, the Lingen facility will be the largest working renewable hydrogen plant in Europe, with nearly twice the capacity of the current biggest site, the report added.
