Lhyfe, a world pioneer in the production of green and renewable hydrogen for transport and industrial applications, has started building a new hydrogen production plant in the city of Schwäbisch Gmünd.
This site, which is the largest green hydrogen plant in Baden-Württemberg, will be the first to supply hydrogen directly to an industrial park.
It is also the first in a network of many plants that will be operated by Lhyfe and supply green hydrogen nationwide in Germany in the coming years.
Lhyfe’s ambition is to become a major player in green hydrogen delivered in bulk in Germany and in France by 2025. The groundbreaking ceremony for the production plant took place on October 12.
"The project demonstrates the economic viability of hydrogen solutions in the transport and industry sectors and also supports the state of Baden-Württemberg in its efforts to become a model region for the development of hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
“We very much welcome the fact that the state and the city of Schwäbisch Gmünd want to implement their ambitious goals for a hydrogen economy based on renewable energies and that we are taking this step together. With the construction of the production plant, we are making an important contribution to the goals of the federal government," said Luc Graré, head of central & Eastern Europe at Lhyfe.
“Through cooperations like this, Schwäbisch Gmünd is developing into a model region for the nationwide development of a hydrogen and filling station network as a central supply infrastructure,” added Richard Arnold, major of Schwäbisch Gmünd in Germany.
Today, Lhyfe’s growth is backed by a solid business pipeline representing a total installed production capacity of 10.3 GW across Europe.
These projects will contribute to the decarbonisation of mobility and industry with green renewable hydrogen on an industrial scale.
