In Germany, thyssenkrupp nucera said it has been commissioned to carry out a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study for a large-scale hydrogen project in Europe. The planned water electrolysis plant will have a capacity of approximately 600 megawatts. The customer will use the produced hydrogen in hard-to-abate industries, thereby avoiding CO2 emissions. “Large-scale projects like this demonstrate that industry plays a central role in scaling up the hydrogen economy and that the business case in Europe is viable under the right conditions – particularly the alignment of affordable green electricity and reliable off-takers. We believe our technology can make a competitive contribution,” said Werner Ponikwar, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera. thyssenkrupp nucera will further develop the project in close collaboration with the customer, with the aim of signing an EPF contract (Engineering, Procurement, Fabrication) in the next phase. The realization of the project is subject to a Final Investment Decision (FID) thereafter, which could be taken in 2026, the German firm said.
