E.ON selects Andritz for engineering study

E.ON Hydrogen has selected international technology group Andritz to carry out an engineering study for an electrolyser 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 a step towards becoming an industrial partner in the development and implementation of large-scale green hydrogen plants.

E.ON Hydrogen plans to build a plant with a capacity of 20 MW in the Essen harbour area to produce 2,300 tonnes of green hydrogen per year. The hydrogen produced will serve transportation companies and industries in the vicinity of the harbour.

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 honoured 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,” said Peter Eisenköck, VP green hydrogen at Andritz.
