Uniper, a German energy company, has placed an order with Sunfire GmbH for a pressurized alkaline electrolyzer with a capacity of 30 MW for the energy park in Germany.
The electrolyzer in the energy park in Bad Lauchstadt will generate green hydrogen using renewable electricity from a wind farm in the surrounding area. The hydrogen that is created can be temporarily kept in a salt cavern that has been specifically designed for the purpose during the second phase of the project. After that, it will be fed into the local chemical industries’ hydrogen network via a repurposed gas pipeline. In the future, it will also be utilized in urban mobility, such as hydrogen-powered buses.
The energy park in Bad Lauchstadt has entered the execution phase. The energy park is expected to be completed in 2024.
