Sunfire has secured a contract to supply a 100-MW alkaline electrolyzer to RWE’s hydrogen site in Lingen, Germany.
Announced shortly after RWE decided to invest in its largest hydrogen project, this facility will start operations by the end of 2027. Sunfire will deliver ten modules, each possessing a 10-MW capacity, contributing one-third of the total production in the third construction phase, scaling the plant’s total capacity to 300 MW. Sunfire will also install and commission the system. The plant aims to produce up to two tons of green hydrogen per hour, targeting industrial users in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.
RWE’s Enthusiasm for Collaboration
Dr. Sopna Sury, COO of Hydrogen of RWE Generation, expressed her optimism about the continued partnership, citing their past joint efforts on a pilot plant in Lingen. She highlighted that this project, part of the GET H2 nucleus initiative, will fully utilize Sunfire’s electrolyzer technology, reaching full production capacity by 2027. She also noted the expansion of their technology portfolio by adding a high-capacity alkaline electrolyzer.
