Projects and cases
We explore innovative ways to optimize our existing assets and to support the transformation towards carbon neutrality. Here, you will find information on projects we work on and cases on projects we have finished.
Our hydrogen projects
Project AIR
An initiative to produce sustainable methanol which will substitute the fossil methanol at large chemical site in Sweden.
Energy Park Bad Lauchstädt
Shaping a green hydrogen economy in the Central German Chemical Triangle with stand-alone supply of renewable energy to an electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen.
H2 Maasvlakte
Development of industrial scale green hydrogen facility at Uniper’s Maasvlakte site at the Port of Rotterdam to deliver to the open access regional hydrogen backbone and industrial customers.
Green Wilhelmshaven
Construction of a scalable hydrogen import terminal for import of ammonia at Wilhelmshaven site in Germany. Hydrogen recovery from Ammonia-Cracking and hydrogen supply optimised with integration of large-scale electrolyser.
Humber H2ub
The Humber H2ub® project is a proposed large scale, low carbon hydrogen production facility at Uniper’s Killingholme site. The project includes an up to 720MW blue hydrogen project (Humber H2ub® (Blue) project) and an up to 120MW green hydrogen project (Humber H2ub® (Green) project) and is expected to be operational later this decade. The hydrogen produced could be used to decarbonise heavy industry, transport and power throughout the Humber region.
Project CHESS
Setting up a hydrogen hub in Huntorf, Lower Saxony to generate hydrogen using renewable energy, store it there and create transport facilities to make it available to industry and the mobility sector. The site also offers the possibility of using hydrogen in highly efficient Compressed Air Energy Storage.
HyStorage
In our HyStorage research project, we are testing the integrity of porous rock storages for hydrogen storage. At our Bierwang site in Bavaria we examine the influence of different hydrogen concentrations on porous rock formations. The measurement data and results generated, will help to fundamentally assess the suitability of the storage location for the future storage of hydrogen.
HPC Krummhörn
The HPC Krummhörn project aims to test the construction and operation of a 100% hydrogen storage facility under real conditions. During the test operation, we check equipment, materials and substances for H2 compatibility and gather experience regarding technology and operation in the storage of hydrogen. For this purpose, we are using our salt cavern storage facility in Krummhörn in northern Germany, which has not been used commercially since 2017. The demonstration plant is scheduled to go into operation by 2024.
