Renewable green hydrogen firm Lhyfe will develop a 70 MW green hydrogen plant in Perl, Saarland, Germany.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2027.
The plant is planned to deliver up to 30 tons of green hydrogen per day into the pipeline of the mosaHYc hydrogen island network.
Existing pipelines around Völkingen, Germany, Carling, France, Bouzonville, France, and Perl, Germany, are being examined for their suitability as hydrogen pipelines.
In addition, the construction of new pipelines from Bouzonville in the direction of Dillingen is planned.
Along the mosaHYc pipeline there are a number of industrial consumers who can benefit from the advantages of green hydrogen.
"We welcome the fact that the state of Saarland and the city of Perl are focusing on the rapid expansion of a hydrogen infrastructure based on renewable energies. For the construction of the plant, we use state-of-the-art electrolysis technologies with smart software so that the feed-in of electricity from renewable sources can be optimised. The project will make a significant contribution to providing competitive and cost-competitive green hydrogen for industry in Saarland," said Luc Graré, head of central and Eastern Europe at Lhyfe.
Perl's mayor, Ralf Uhlenbruch, added: "The Saarland has officially been part of the HyExpert hydrogen model region since August 2020. The planned Lhyfe plant is a significant milestone in the expansion of the regional hydrogen economy.”
The project’s implementation is subject to the granting of operating authorisations and construction permits, as well as to financial investment decisions.
