Demonstration of sector coupling: wind electrolysis for generation, storage and transport of green hydrossert

Hydrogen production

As part of the 'Bad Lauchstädt Energy Park' project, the production, transport, storage and economic use of green hydrogen is to be industrialized from mid-2021. The project initially envisages the construction of a wind farm with an output of around 37 megawatts (MW). The renewable electricity generated from this will be converted into hydrogen via a large-scale electrolysis plant of around 30 MW. The green hydrogen can be temporarily stored in a specially equipped salt cavern before it is fed into the hydrogen network of the Central German Chemical Triangle via a converted 20-kilometer-long gas pipeline. This sub-project concerns the conception and test operation of a directly coupled large-scale electrolysis plant.
