Siemens Gamesa Is Developing The World’s First Pilot Project To Produce Hydrogen Directly From Wind Energy

The developers of Siemens Gamesa’s Brande Hydrogen project have connected a wind turbine directly to an electrolyzer, although it can also operate connected to the grid; with this, they intend to generate hydrogen to take the next step in the generation of zero-carbon fuels.

Siemens Gamesa Aims To Produce Hydrogen On A Large Scale

A Siemens Gamesa spokesperson stated that this hydrogen and wind energy project represents a strategic step towards providing green hydrogen at scale starting in mid-2021. The Brande Hydrogen project will serve as a testbed for large-scale, economic hydrogen production. The pilot project is close to receiving final licenses, and the first tests are planned for the end of this December.

Hydrogen Produced From Wind Energy

The project will start producing hydrogen from January next year, aiming to test the technology in the field. The pilot includes the 3MW Siemens Gamesa wind turbine from local partner Uhre Windpower, which will generate clean electricity to power a 400 kW electrolyzer.

Siemens Gamesa CEO Andreas Nauen said, “Green hydrogen has the potential to be a game-changer in the quest to decarbonize the energy supply and tackle the climate crisis.”

“Our wind turbines already make a significant contribution to this effort by providing clean electricity to the grid, but with the potential for hydrogen storage, we can start to address other key industries.”

Green hydrogen derived from renewable sources is a 100% sustainable, storable, transportable, and versatile fuel that represents an opportunity for green transition. As part of this project, Siemens Gamesa has partnered with Danish company Everfuel to distribute 100% of the green hydrogen production from the project for taxi refueling across the country.

When fully operational, the project’s single turbine will produce enough hydrogen to fuel about 50-70 taxis per day.
