Siemens Energy has been awarded a contract to supply a 280-megawatt electrolysis system by German utility EWE. The plant in the German city of Emden is expected to go into operation in 2027 and will provide up to 26,000 tons of green hydrogen annually for various industrial applications in the region. If this green hydrogen replaces fossil fuels, around 800,000 tons of CO₂ per year could be avoided in the steel industry, for example.

The electrolysis plant is part of EWE’s large-scale hydrogen project “Clean Hydrogen Coastline”, which consists of four sub-projects. The electrolyzer represents the core of the Emden hydrogen…
