Lhyfe receives approval to develop local renewable green hydrogen ecosystem

In Germany, Lhyfe received approval from the city of Schwäbisch Gmünd (Baden-Württemberg) to start construction of its renewable hydrogen plant by water electrolysis on an industrial site of about 10,000 m2 with an expected operational date of early 2024.

A production site for renewable green hydrogen by water electrolysis with a capacity of up to 4 tonnes/day (10 MW) is to be built along with a publicly accessible hydrogen filling station and a pipeline to supply the future “H2-Aspen” technology park with renewable hydrogen.

Future customers for this project are located in the immediate vicinity of the site and in the region. The hydrogen will be used as a process gas by industrial customers and as a fuel for fuel cell vehicles at distribution stations.

Lhyfe is working on a rapid ramp-up of the green hydrogen market in many European countries. Various projects have already been announced in Germany, including cooperations such as the participation in the H2goesRail project of Deutsche Bahn and Siemens Mobility.
