10,000 green hydrogen generators per month: groundbreaking for Enapter electrolyser mass production in North Rhine-Westphalia
PR91658
SAERBECK, Germany, Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-=KYODO JBN/ --
Acting, not talking.
- Enapter Campus enables mass production of AEM Electrolysers and serves as a
blueprint for further Enapter production facilities worldwide
- Electrolyser production, warehouse storage and offices, as well as research
and development laboratories will be built over 82,000 square metres by 2023
- Groundbreaking with video statement from Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart, Energy
Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia and Saerbeck Mayor Dr. Tobias Lehberg
The cleantech company Enapter (WKN: A255G0) today celebrated the groundbreaking
of its mass-production facility for green hydrogen-producing electrolysers. Its
82,000 square metre Enapter Campus will be built in the climate community of
Saerbeck in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and powered entirely with
locally-produced renewable energy. Enapter is pursuing an initial goal of
multiplying its production capacity to 10,000 electrolysers a month to satisfy
the rapidly-growing demand for low-cost hydrogen production solutions.
"To massively reduce the costs for green hydrogen production and reach global
climate goals, we now need to scale existing technologies at speed," said
Enapter CEO Sebastian-Justus Schmidt in his opening speech at the festive
groundbreaking. "Our entire DNA is focused on urgency in research, development
and market entry: The Campus is our climate contribution under the motto
'Acting, not talking'. Scaled production of modular, compact AEM Electrolysers
for projects of any size will make a substantial contribution to tackling the
climate crisis."
Based on current plans, the Enapter Campus will cost around €105 Million.
Construction partner Goldbeck will build at an ambitious tempo so that
production can begin incrementally in the fourth quarter of 2022. First
customer deliveries from mass-production are envisaged to start in 2023. The
development is currently expected to create around 300 jobs in Saerbeck.
The automated mass-production of electrolysers will enable Enapter to decrease
the cost of the devices and thus quickly make green hydrogen competitive with
fossil fuels. Development of the machinery necessary for mass production has
been supported by the North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry of Economic Affairs,
Innovation, Digitalisation and Energy with around €9.36 million.
"With Enapter, North Rhine-Westphalia has gained a strong partner for driving
the climate-friendly conversion of our industry forward, supporting the
achievement of climate protection goals and bringing new job opportunities into
the region," said Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart, North Rhine-Westphalia State
Minister for Economy, Innovation, Digitalisation and Energy.
Enapter already provides more than 70 integrators and project developers in 40
countries with its patented AEM (Anion Exchange Membrane) Electrolysers, which
are standardised but flexible in implementation for many applications. From
2022, Enapter will offer the first megawatt-scale AEM Electrolyser – the
containerised AEM Multicore – featuring 420 of its AEM electrolysis stacks.
"Enapter's dynamic approach to fighting global warming has impressed us
greatly," said Jan-Hendrik Goldbeck, CEO of the family-led construction firm.
"We are both proud and delighted to work alongside them in building the Enapter
Campus and thus contribute to the rapid scaling of their electrolyser
production."
