The first giga factory in Europe
Today Siemens Energy will launch the gigawatt-scale electrolyzer factory in Berlin paving the way for the ramp up of hydrogen economy.
With our production partner Air Liquide we start annual production capacity of 1GW and a ramp-up to at least 3GW PEM electrolysis in 2025 with potential for more.
Adding up to at the very least 18GW total capacity by 2030, we could provide almost double of the 🇩🇪German target of 10GW, or almost half of the 🇪🇺EU target of 40GW #electrolyzer capacity by 2030 out of our Berlin factory alone.
Technology is not the issue. What we need is a robust framework by policy makers. The following five points are critical to creating a robust, global market for clean hydrogen:
1️⃣ Optimize the framework: Advancing the hydrogen economy requires a faster pace, more political enablement, and less technocratic regulation.
2️⃣ Provide incentives: Incentives are needed in key offtake sectors to use hydrogen to store renewable energy and decarbonize industry. These include for example quotas and carbon contracts for differences in industry, in the decarbonization of electricity systems, and for mobility.
3️⃣ Improve financing systems and financial support: The energy transition needs financing, funding, and state guarantees to decrease risks and make hydrogen projects bankable. This is the only way to scale technologies, support domestic production, and expand the project pipeline.
4️⃣ Build infrastructure: Pipelines, ships, and terminals to transport hydrogen and its derivatives must be built quickly to connect supply and demand centers.
5️⃣ Establish clean H2 certification schemes: Globally recognized certification schemes are essential to making hydrogen a globally tradable commodity.
A strong European manufacturer basis for hydrogen technologies is paramount for Europe to become a global #hydrogen champion. Lets make Net-Zero happen!
The first #gigafactory for the #production of PEM #electrolyzers in Europe is now in operation! 🙌
Air Liquide and Siemens Energy have inaugurated their joint venture gigawatt electrolyzer factory today in Berlin in the presence of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French Industry Minister Roland Lescure, German Economics Minister Robert Habeck and other government officials.
Leveraging automation and robotics, this gigafactory will produce components in series for large-scale Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. With one gigawatt currently, Air Liquide and Siemens Energy expect a ramp-up to annual production capacity of three gigawatts by 2025.
The strategic partnership benefits from a portfolio of hydrogen projects. Some of them are already under development.
⏺️ In Oberhausen, Germany, the Air Liquide’s Trailblazer 20 MW large-scale electrolyzer project is reaching completion and aims to accelerate the decarbonization of the Rhine-Ruhr industrial basin.
⏺️ Near Port-Jérôme, France, the Air Liquide Normand’Hy 200 MW electrolyzer project is the largest PEM electrolyzer under construction, avoiding the emission of 250,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
With two global leading companies in their field combining their expertises, this Franco-German partnership plays a pivotal role in the emergence of a sustainable #hydrogen economy needed to forge the #energytransition.
