E.ON Hydrogen has selected international technology group ANDRITZ to  carry out an engineering study for an electrolyzer plant to produce green hydrogen in Essen, Germany. 

This is the second green hydrogen order for ANDRITZ from Germany within the last 12 months and  marks an important step towards becoming a leading industrial partner in the development and  implementation of large-scale green hydrogen plants. 

E.ON Hydrogen, part of E.ON Group, one of Europe’s largest operators of energy networks and  energy infrastructure, is committed to advancing the hydrogen economy to support the transition to  sustainable energy. The company plans to build a plant with a capacity of 20 MW in the Essen harbor  area to produce 2,300 tons of green hydrogen per year. The hydrogen produced will serve  transportation companies and industries in the vicinity of the harbor. 

The contract includes feasibility and safety studies for the complete plant, including hydrogen  production, compression, storage and trailer loading bays. The study is expected to be completed in  2024. 

“We are honored that E.ON Hydrogen has chosen us as a partner and are eager to contribute to this  important decarbonization project. We are committed to taking the lead in all aspects of project execution to ensure efficient implementation and support at every stage,” says Peter Eisenköck, VP  Green Hydrogen at ANDRITZ.
