Germany to produce green hydrogen and biomethanol from solar energy

At Airpark Laage in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, North German enterprises aim to execute a solar-powered biomethanol project.

East Energie intends to provide solar energy from photovoltaic power facilities in the area.

Companies are still establishing solar parks on an area of roughly 300 hectares without government subsidies to achieve this goal. The first park, with a capacity of around 40 megawatts, is expected to open by the end of 2022, with the remaining parks following in 2023 and 2024.

In the next years, Apex wants to increase its own electrolysis capacity at the site to 105 megawatts.

“The solar energy will be utilized to make green hydrogen, which Apex will deliver to East Energy, as well as to power its biomethanol facility, which will produce roughly 8,000 tons of biomethanol yearly,” the company stated.

A 2 MW electrolysis platform has already been constructed by McPhy Energy SA, a producer of technology for the generation and distribution of hydrogen. A McLyzer 400–30 electrolyzer is also installed at the facility, which can create over 300 tons of carbon-free hydrogen per year using renewable energy sources.

A fuel cell, a storage tank, a combined heat and power plant, and a stabilizing battery make up the technical complex. A contemporary plastic hydrogen storage device for 1000 liters at 60 bar was developed with the help of the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis and Fraunhofer scientists. The emano storage system is directly connected to the cell.

A fuel cell from Proton Motor with a 100-kilowatt electrical output and a hydrogen block thermal power plant from 2G with a 115-kilowatt output, as well as a megawatt battery storage system from WEMAG, provide electricity on demand.

Furthermore, a public hydrogen refueling station on site can accommodate up to 40 public buses and 200 passenger automobiles.
