MAN invests up to €500 million in hydrogen production at H-TEC SYSTEMS
MAN Energy Solutions will invest up to €500 million in its subsidiary H-TEC SYSTEMS to transform the hydrogen specialist into a mass-producer of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolysers.
H-TEC SYSTEMS are already successful on the market with solutions for the electrolysis of hydrogen.
“Our plan is clear,” said Uwe Lauber, CEO of MAN Energy Solutions. “We are transforming H-TEC SYSTEMS into one of the world's leading players in the field of PEM electrolysis.
“Over the next five to 10 years, green hydrogen will become one of the most important primary energy sources for the global economy as it continues to decarbonize.
“With PEM electrolysis, H-TEC SYSTEMS has mastered one of the most important processes for industrially scaled hydrogen production from renewable energy sources. The technology is mature and has already been placed on the market successfully. The next step is therefore to scale and set up highly automated serial production – and we would like to make rapid progress with this.”
Chairman of the supervisory board of MAN Energy Solutions and member of the board of Volkswagen AG, Gunnar Kilian, underlines that the Volkswagen Group supports these growth plans: “On the path toward achieving climate neutrality, hydrogen plays a key role for sectors such as international shipping or industrial processes in which direct electrification is not possible.
“ It is therefore essential for our subsidiary MAN Energy Solutions to continue to strengthen its strategic position in the future market for power-to-X technology and synthetic fuels with investment in hydrogen production. Only by coordinating our efforts will we achieve our shared objective of climate neutrality. MAN Energy Solutions is playing an important role in this regard.”
