The plant will generate hydrogen for climate-neutral trains.
Lhyfe, a France-based, international pioneering firm in renewable and inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing, has constructed and can function a hydrogen manufacturing plant for Deutsche Bahn in Tübingen. This marks the primary website to be put in and operated by Lhyfe in Germany, and the inexperienced H2 produced on the plant can be used to energy a climate-neutral prepare.
The plant is ready to generate as a lot as 30 tons of renewable hydrogen yearly.
This electrolysis plant, within the Tübingen innovation hub of DB Energie, a Group subsidiary, has a manufacturing capability of as much as 30 tons (put in electrolysis capability of 1 megawatt) per 12 months. DB Energie is investigating sustainable rail vitality provide and testing new applied sciences.
Amongst its initiatives is the “H2goesRail” venture. The prepare that can use the inexperienced hydrogen produced on the plant is a part of the H2goesRail venture, which is a partnership between Deutsche Bahn and Siemens Mobility. The aim of the venture is to develop a ground-breaking hydrogen system for rail transport. This method can be made up of a hydrogen prepare, a refueling station and upkeep infrastructure.
The plan is to place a prepare powered by hydrogen from Lhyfe’s inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing plant into operation this 12 months. The prepare’s take a look at route can be in Baden-Württemberg, between Tübingen, Horb and Pforzheim.
Lhyfe seeks to achieve expertise from this inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing venture.
The advanced system Lhyfe is constructing is difficult and has numerous dynamics, together with hydrogen manufacturing, a number of compression, storage and refueling. Lhyfe is able to tackle this problem to supply Deutsche Bahn and subsequent companions with an H2 manufacturing plant that may be utilized to check the combination of inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing into buyer processes.
Lhyfe Schwäbisch Gmünd – Picture Supply: Lhyfe
In accordance with a Lhyfe information launch, from this venture Lhyfe is hoping to accumulate expertise for a largely autonomously operated system and the direct coupling of hydrogen manufacturing with a refueling station on a big scale.
“This project demonstrates the economic viability of hydrogen solutions in the transport and mobility sector,” mentioned Luc Graré, Head of Central and Jap Europe at Lhyfe.
Lhyfe needs to be a serious participant within the mobility and trade sector.
The corporate goals to realize this via buyer deliveries in tube trailer (bulk) in Germany and France by 2025. Lhyfe has been working its first green hydrogen facility in France since 2021 and opened two different websites in France in 2023.
The corporate can also be presently constructing a 10-megawatt plant in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, with a number of different websites all through Europe presently being expanded or below development.
