RWE Begins Commissioning 100MW Phase of Lingen Green Hydrogen Plant in Germany
RWE has commenced the commissioning of the first 100MW phase of its green hydrogen project at the Lingen gas-fired power plant in Germany, part of the larger 300MW Get H2 Nukleus initiative. The project, utilizing PEM electrolysers from ITM Power and alkaline systems from Sunfire, aims to start commercial operations in 2026, with hydrogen production expected to begin in 2027. RWE has secured a 15-year offtake agreement with TotalEnergies for 30,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually to supply the Leuna refinery, although there is a three-year gap until production starts.

RWE has started commissioning the first 100MW phase of its green hydrogen project at the Lingen gas-fired power plant in Germany. The 300MW Get H2 Nukleus project will utilize 200MW of PEM electrolysers from ITM Power and 100MW of alkaline electrolysis systems from Sunfire.
Commercial operations are planned to begin in 2026, with hydrogen production anticipated to start in 2027. The hydrogen produced will be stored at RWE's facility in Gronau-Epe. RWE has signed a 15-year offtake agreement with TotalEnergies for 30,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year to replace grey hydrogen at the Leuna refinery, with transport over a 600km section of Germany's hydrogen core network. There is a three-year offtake gap until production starts in 2027, leaving RWE's strategy for hydrogen placement before 2030 unclear.
