thyssenkrupp nucera® signs FEED study for 600 MW green hydrogen project in Europe

thyssenkrupp nucera®, a leading global provider of high-efficiency electrolysis technologies, has been commissioned to conduct a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study for a large-scale hydrogen project in Europe.

The planned water electrolysis plant will have a capacity of approximately 600 MW. The end user will use the hydrogen produced in hard-to-abate industries, helping to avoid CO2 emissions.

Dr Werner Ponikwar, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera®, said: “Large-scale projects like this demonstrate that industry plays a central role in scaling up the hydrogen economy and that the business case in Europe is viable under the right conditions – particularly the alignment of affordable green electricity and reliable off-takers.”

thyssenkrupp nucera®, will further develop the project in close collaboration with the end-user, aiming to sign an EPF contract (Engineering, Procurement, Fabrication) in the next phase. The realisation of the project will be subject to a Final Investment Decision (FID) thereafter, which could be taken in 2026.

It will be the third large-scale hydrogen project in the region to be realised using technology from thyssenkrupp nucera®. Currently, two projects are already underway - a 200 MW facility for Shell in Rotterdam and a 740 MW facility for Stegra - supporting the development of Europe’s first industrial green steel plant. These projects highlight the industrial expansion of the hydrogen economy and make significant steps towards achieving Europe’s decarbonisation targets.
