World’s largest PEM electrolyser for hydrogen production planned for Germany14 January 2021

Linde has announced plans to build, own and operate the world’s largest PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyser plant at the Leuna Chemical Complex in Germany.

This new 24-megawatt electrolyser will produce green hydrogen to supply the company’s industrial customers through its existing pipeline network. The green hydrogen will also be liquefied and distributed to hydrogen refuelling stations in the region.

The electrolyser will be built by ITM Linde Electrolysis GmbH, a joint venture between Linde and ITM Power, using PEM technology. The plant is due to start production in the second half of 2022.

Linde has installed close to 200 hydrogen fuelling stations and 80 hydrogen electrolysis plants worldwide. The company offers the latest electrolysis technology through its newly formed joint venture ITM Linde Electrolysis.

Graham Cooley, CEO of ITM Power, said: “This is the first sale via our joint venture with Linde.It demonstrates the growing commitment by industry to use green hydrogen produced by electrolysis to decarbonise production processes.”
