Innovation Project
WESTKUESTE100
Preparation of a concept study for a synthesis plant (1000 t/d) for the production of synthetic methanol from green hydrogen
Infrastructure project
The overarching goal of WESTKÜSTE100 is the decarbonisation of energy systems through innovative approaches. The core element is the construction and operation of a 30 MW electrolysis system for the generation, proven storage and transport of green hydrogen from renewable energies. In addition to interconnecting the overall system, the central research goal is to develop co-operating operating and business models and to work out a scaling concept. Open Grid Europe GmbH (OGE) is making a key contribution to this goal by setting up a hydrogen network. In the present project, a complete hydrogen infrastructure modeled on the natural gas network is installed for the first time, and plastic roll material for hydrogen is being used for the first time for testing under real conditions and in operation for several years.
