The project aims to provide sustainable, clean, non-intermittent and affordable energy in the form of green hydrogen, green gas, and green power. The Wilhelmshaven Green Gas Terminal aims to provide 8.5% of Germany’s energy needs.
The hub will help integrate renewable energy by producing and storing green hydrogen for long duration energy storage. Mitsubishi Power will leverage Emerson’s hydrogen production experience and automation software expertise to increase safety, decrease costs and simplify maintenance across the life cycle of the facility.
Purpose-built shafts could store large quantities of hydrogen with the potential to build hydrogen stores wherever required.
