LEAG Unveils Cutting-Edge Power-to-X Plant for Green Energy Storage

As the world moves towards a greener future, innovative solutions for efficient energy storage and utilization have become crucial. In a groundbreaking development, Lausitz Energie Kraftwerke AG (LEAG), the largest private energy company in eastern Germany, has proposed an ambitious Power-to-X plant in Jänschwalde, Lusatia.

This cutting-edge facility aims to store and re-electrify excess renewable energy generated by coordinated solar and wind power plants in the region. The plant will employ two storage systems: one for hydrogen production via electrolysis and another for thermal energy storage. This bold initiative sets a precedent for green energy storage, offering a pathway towards completely CO2-free electricity generation through the use of hydrogen as fuel.

The Jänschwalde Innovative Storage Power Plant (ISPP) is designed to address the challenges of renewable energy storage and utilization. The facility will store surplus green energy through two interconnected storage systems. Firstly, excess renewable energy will be converted into hydrogen through an electrolysis plant. The generated hydrogen will then be stored for later use as fuel for a Combined-Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant. Secondly, the ISPP features a large thermal energy storage unit, capable of storing green power that will be re-electrified by generating hot steam to boost the power output of the CCGT’s steam turbine.

The ISPP offers tremendous potential for revolutionizing green energy storage and power generation. By effectively storing and re-electrifying excess renewable energy, the project addresses the intermittency issues of solar and wind power. Moreover, the use of hydrogen as fuel for the CCGT will pave the way for completely CO2-free electricity generation, contributing to Germany’s energy transition and reducing carbon emissions.

LEAG’s Jänschwalde Innovative Storage Power Plant represents a significant leap towards a sustainable and carbon-free energy future. By combining hydrogen-based energy storage with advanced thermal energy storage, the project offers an innovative solution to the challenges of renewable energy utilization. As the ISPP takes shape, it has the potential to revolutionize green energy storage and contribute to Germany’s ambitious energy transition goals. By harnessing the power of hydrogen, this pioneering facility brings us closer to a greener and more sustainable future for energy generation and storage.
