Location
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.

Project Owner/s
Lhyfe.

Project Description
Lhyfe’s backbone strategy comprises the positioning of some of its green hydrogen production units at locations specifically chosen for their proximity to the future European hydrogen backbone, thus enabling it to cater to an array of customers.

The company plans to produce up to 330 t/d of green hydrogen at the Lubmin plant, which will be built on the site of a decommissioned nuclear power plant.

The project will have electrolysis capacity of 800 MW.

The new project site will offer access to extensive existing and future electricity production capacities from offshore wind farms. It also benefits from an extra-high voltage 50 Hz grid connection.

The project’s implementation is subject to the granting of operating authorisations and construction permits, as well as financial investment decisions.

Potential Job Creation

Capital Expenditure
The Lubmin plant will feed into the German core hydrogen pipeline network, for which the German government recently unveiled a €20-billion financing plan.

Planned Start/End Date
Commissioning is targeted by 2029.
