Sunfire awarded contract for 100-MW electrolyzer at RWE’s hydrogen site in Lingen

Sunfire has been awarded a contract for a 100-MW alkaline electrolyzer at RWE’s hydrogen site in Lingen, Germany. The order comes a few days after RWE’s final investment decision for its largest hydrogen project to date, which is scheduled to begin operation by the end of 2027.

Sunfire will supply RWE with 10 modules of its pressurized alkaline technology, each with a 10-MW capacity. The electrolyzer will provide one-third of the total production capacity as part of the third construction phase, which will bring RWE’s plant to 300 MW. Additionally, Sunfire will oversee the installation and commissioning of the 100-MW electrolyzer. The plant will produce up to two tons of green hydrogen per hour, primarily serving industrial customers in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.

Dr. Sopna Sury, COO Hydrogen of RWE Generation, commented: “After Sunfire has already provided an electrolyzer for our pilot plant in Lingen, we are looking forward to continuing this collaboration as part of the GET H2 nucleus project. With Sunfire’s electrolyzer, the GET H2 Nukleus will reach its full production capacity in 2027. At the same time, we are expanding our technology portfolio with an alkaline electrolyzer in the three-digit megawatt range.”
