EWE AIMS to Retailer Hydrogen in Huntorf within the Wesermarsch Area Staring in 2027
The power service supplier EWE is driving ahead the conversion of its gasoline storage web site in Wesermarsch for the storage of hydrogen. NEUMAN & ESSER will provide EWE with two four-crank, horizontal piston compressors measurement 320 as a part of the foremost four-part “Clean Hydrogen Coastline” undertaking. These compressors type a central part for future large-scale hydrogen storage in a transformed pure gasoline cavern. EWE goals to retailer hydrogen on this from 2027. From that point, the inexperienced gasoline will likely be out there when it’s wanted, not when it’s produced. Giant-scale hydrogen storage will thus enhance the safe and versatile provide of future hydrogen customers.
The undertaking is a vital step in the direction of integrating inexperienced hydrogen know-how into the present power infrastructure and a key undertaking for the power transition. NEUMAN & ESSER and EWE are thus collectively making a big contribution to the safety of provide and the ramp-up of a hydrogen financial system. “We are very pleased that we can make a decisive contribution to the development of the green hydrogen economy in Germany by supplying the centerpiece of the hydrogen storage facility,” says Jens Wulff, Managing Director of NEUMAN & ESSER Deutschland, “and that the funding commitments made by the German government and the state of Lower Saxony last summer for the EWE ‘Clean Hydrogen Coastline’ project have paved the way for strategically important projects such as this one. The signing of the contract with EWE shows our determination to realize these major projects quickly.”
Hydrogen Storage to Stabilize the Power Provide
EWE is changing considered one of seven underground pure gasoline caverns at its cavern web site in Huntorf within the Wesermarsch area for the storage of hydrogen. The Huntorf undertaking is a part of the large-scale “Clean Hydrogen Coastline” undertaking. This brings collectively the manufacturing, storage, transportation, and use of inexperienced hydrogen, and thus implements the political necessities. EWE obtained the funding approval for the four-part large-scale undertaking as a part of the European IPCEI program (Vital Mission of Widespread European Curiosity) in summer season 2024. EWE is presently within the detailed planning section and intends to retailer and launch hydrogen within the subsequent two to 3 years.
Confirmed Expertise for Progressive Purposes
The awarding of the compressors to NEUMAN & ESSER is a decisive milestone within the realization of the undertaking. The household enterprise was chosen for its intensive expertise and technical experience. The compressors play a central position in storing and releasing hydrogen from the cavern, making certain most security and effectivity.
Analysis for Applicability to Wesermarsch Cavern
EWE has confirmed that hydrogen might be saved safely in salt caverns in a pilot undertaking at its gasoline storage web site in Rüdersdorf close to Berlin. EWE is now making use of the data gained from the development and operation of the five hundred cubic meter take a look at cavern to caverns with a quantity 1,000 occasions bigger, such because the one in Wesermarsch. “Our aim is to establish large-scale caverns for hydrogen storage. With 37 salt caverns, EWE alone has 15 percent of all German cavern storage facilities that are suitable for storing hydrogen,” says Peter Schmidt, Managing Director of EWE GASSPEICHER.
