Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub awards contract for 100 MW electrolyzer to Siemens Energy
The Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub (HGHH) project company is building a 100 MW electrolysis plant for green hydrogen at the site of the former Moorburg coal-fired power plant. The HGHH consortium, consisting of Luxcara and Hamburger Energiewerke, has commissioned Siemens Energy to supply and install the electrolyzer units. The company will supply six units of its latest electrolyzer model, which together form the 100 MW electrolyzer. Construction work for the electrolyzer is scheduled to begin next year. Commercial operation is scheduled to start in 2027. Around 10,000 tons of green hydrogen will be produced at the HGHH every year. In addition to supplying the electrolyzer units, HGHH and Siemens Energy are entering into a long-term partnership with a ten-year maintenance contract. Both parties have agreed not to disclose the value of the contract.

Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection Robert Habeck visits IPCEI-funded projects: HGHH large-scale electrolyzer and HH-WIN hydrogen industrial network
Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, Robert Habeck, was in Hamburg today to see firsthand how the hydrogen infrastructure is progressing. During the visit to the site of the former Moorburg power plant, he witnessed the ongoing dismantling and site preparation for the Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub (HGHH) and the hydrogen grid connection. Minister Habeck was also given an insight into the construction work that has begun on the Hamburg Hydrogen Industrial Network (HH-WIN), which will be initially 40 and later 60 kilometers long. Hamburger Energiewerke and its project partner, Luxcara, with their 100 MW electrolyzer for green hydrogen (HGHH) and Gasnetz Hamburg with the HH-WIN hydrogen network, are laying the foundations for a hydrogen economy in the industrial location, Hamburg.

Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) awards funding: Hamburg Hydrogen Industrial Network and large-scale electrolyzer of the HGHH project receive IPCEI-funding
Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck presented the funding decisions in Berlin today for two significant hydrogen projects in Hamburg: Hamburger Energiewerke (HEnW) and its project partner Luxcara will receive funding for the Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub (HGHH) project. Together, they are building a 100 MW electrolyzer for green hydrogen on the site of the former Moorburg coal-fired power plant. Gasnetz Hamburg, the municipal network operator, is receiving funding for the construction of the first 40 kilometers of the HH-WIN hydrogen distribution network. The Federal Government and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg are jointly providing over 250 million euros of funding for both projects.
