GW capacity! Siemens Energy Berlin hydrogen production plant production line!

On November 8, Siemens Energy held the opening ceremony of the "Gigafactory" in Berlin. In this way, Siemens Energy will achieve mass production of electrolytic equipment for the first time, laying the foundation for the development of green hydrogen energy.

According to reports, the total investment of Siemens Energy "Gigafactory" amounted to 30 million euros, three quarters of which was funded by Siemens Energy and the rest by Air Liquide of France. Located in Berlin's Moabit district, the plant covers an area of approximately 2,000 square meters and will fully automate the production of electrolytic modules.

The new plant will initially have an annual capacity of 1,000 megawatts; By 2025, at least three thousand megawatts of electrolytic capacity will be supplied to the market each year. The plant will supply hydrogen to projects around the world from Berlin. It is understood that Siemens Energy uses proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis water hydrogen production technology, using proton exchange membrane and electricity from renewable energy sources, to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The process has high electrolytic efficiency, high gas purity, reliable operation, and no chemical substances or impurities.

Air Liquide Chief Executive Officer Fu Longhua said: "Large-scale production of industrial-grade electrolyzers is essential to enable competitive renewable hydrogen. Our joint venture with Siemens Energy brings together our best expertise to bring the best products to market. This state-of-the-art technology will soon be applied to the Trailblazer water electrolysis hydrogen production project in Oberhausen, Germany, and to the Normandy water electrolysis hydrogen production project on a large scale. More than ever before, hydrogen is proving to be a key element in the transition to a low-carbon society."
