RWE has commissioned Sunfire to supply a 100-MW electrolyzer. The project is part of the GET H2 Nucleus and is set to produce green hydrogen for industry starting in 2027. With this project, the two companies are expanding their collaboration.
RWE has contracted the electrolyzer manufacturer Sunfire to supply a 100-MW alkaline electrolyzer for the Lingen site. The electrolyzer is part of the GET H2 Nucleus project. RWE's order comes shortly after the final investment decision (FID) for the company's largest hydrogen project to date.
Sunfire will deliver ten modules of pressurized alkaline technology, each with 10 megawatts of capacity. This electrolyzer will provide one-third of the production capacity of RWE's 300-MW plant.
Sunfire will also handle the installation and commissioning of the plant in Lingen. The facility is scheduled to begin operations at the end of 2027 and will then produce up to two tons of green hydrogen per hour. The hydrogen produced there is primarily intended for industrial customers in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.
Sunfire Provides Technology for GET H2 Nucleus
Just a few weeks ago, the energy company and the electrolyzer manufacturer celebrated the commissioning of a 10-MW electrolyzer in Lingen. Additionally, hydrogen has been produced at the RWE Emsland gas power plant site since 2023 using a high-temperature SOEC electrolyzer from the manufacturer.
Dr. Sopna Sury, COO Hydrogen at RWE Generation SE, said regarding the awarded contract: "After Sunfire already provided an electrolyzer for our pilot electrolysis in Lingen, we are pleased to continue this collaboration now as part of the GET H2 Nucleus."
With an order backlog of over 800 MW, Sunfire is positioning itself as one of the leading providers for large-scale projects in hydrogen electrolysis. The company is among those that can already supply electrolyzers on an industrial scale.
